  Consistent with earlier tasting, this was leaner and lighter than I remembered from earlier tasting - it showed dark garnet purple color, medium body with black berry fruits, slightly tart black cherry with notes of black tea, hints of tobacco, touch of mocha and coffee bean."

  Quick Merlot Tasting: Bark dark brown on the nose with mushroom.
  
  More of a food merlot than the Shafer we just finished. Dry and medium bodied. Light bitterness and vegetal finish.

  Tonight's tasting was consistent with that earlier experience, this showed dark garnet purple color, medium body with black berry fruits, slightly tart black cherry with a hints of spice, tobacco, touch of mocha and coffee bean.
  
  This was a bit flabby and lacked structure and therefor was a bit underwhelming, perhaps due to comparison with the bigger, bolder, brighter Yates Mt Veeder Cab.
