Auction purchase. Cork 2/3 saturated. The alcohol on this almost blinded me upon opening, then we went to raspberry cough syrup. My grandmother used to make a raspberry syrup--half fresh raspberry, half sugar. Add 1/4 grain alcohol to that and I get this wine. Petite Sirah influence?

Classic Robert Foley Merlot, lush, full bodied and smooth. Lots of dark fruit and just plain delicious. Not fading but no reason to wait. Best after a couple of hours of air.

From 375 ml, consumed by Marianne. Delicious upon opening - full-bodied, fruit forward w/luscious fruit, chocolate, and spice notes. Long finish. Love!

Fabulous upon opening and not quite as good after several hours. Should probably be savored during the next couple of years.

A wow aged merlot. Very typical merlot fruit and palate notes in a rich but balanced style. Good fragrant nose and lively finish. Drink it up!!
