I drank this bottle undecanted, with garlic mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese, and a black bean burger with pepper jack cheese. This bottle is still very drinkable, but I found very little about it charming or enjoyable. The fruit and mostly dropped out, but there are still a few notes to contemplate. The biggest problem is that the alcohol overpowers whatever is left of the tertiary flavors and mutes the fruit.

Full bodied Merlot with notes of black cherries and dark chocolate. Solid wine and can keep 2 - 3 more years but great now. Drink! Look for newer vintages for purchase.

(Neyers Ranch Conn Valley Napa Merlot) #2; VaynerPAZZZ; COLOR-dark; NOSE-very fruity; almost too fruity like fruit punch; a little heat on the back-end; PALATE-the fruit is fake; kind of off balance; the tannins are sharp; not interesting to me; not feeling this; GV-84

G. A little funky and bitter. Tasted a little corky even though the cork looked fine. Some chocolate. Drank it with David at Crave.
