1996 Beringer Vineyards Estate Bottled Bancroft Ranch Vineyard Merlot

9.2

Something about an aged Merlot that is truly special. Ruby red, brown edges. Misty notes on top of a black cherry river of goodness.

Still kicking it, not bad for California Merlot... Key is to get some altitude! Leather, plum and prune, blackberry and sweet vanilla and cinnamon notes. Very delicious indeed.
