Merkin Vineyards Chupacabra Blanca Riesling Chardonnay 2017

Not sweet. The chard flavor carries over the Riesling despite the smaller percentage of former. Grassy, apricot, and a hint of that buttery mouthfeel. Bright not heavy — 5 years ago

Shinola Buhl Memorial Vineyard Sangiovese 2019

Garnet with light peach to the edges, not bad after a screw top and 5 years of bottle aging. Medium bodied, with a prominent red-fruit forward note, with hints of smoke and tar to the edges. Palate is fruit forward and accessible, with nice peppery notes, light tannins and slight bloody/meaty notes that linger into a dry finish. A nice, native, entry level Sangiovese. PS: Tasted great a week after, had real staying power with solid warmth and a nice, slightly acidic berry. — 3 years ago

Merkin Vineyards Shinola New Mexico Red Blend 2013

Right after opening, it seems like an alcohol bomb on the nose. Not to fail. Just needs 10 minutes and it's open to big red fruit, slight oak, tart cherry, and great acid. They're killing it out there. — 9 years ago

2011 Merkin Chupacabra Blanca from New Mexico. Floral aromas with peach skin, mandarin peel, honeysuckle, ginger spice, lush and round. Makes me think summer harvest in a glass. #wine #newmexico #chupacabra #caduceuscellars — 12 years ago

I'm biased of course but THIS IS THE BEST WINE EVER MADE. "Shameless self promotion 101."

Better than the 2012? I really like this wine but I thought the 12 was not delicate and floral?

I'm just being an Ass. 12 is solid.
