This is a serious wine. On par with Pahlmeyer, but rising above in terms of focus, and letting the fruit shine more than the oak. Bravo. Pipe tobacco, damp earth and mulled blueberries

Too young, not half as good as the Bosché Merlot. 🤨

Merlot, one unappreciated variety, but this one l appreciate it very much. It's like dancing Tango, naked in front of the mirror when no one is watching.

Dark cherry with a spicy complexity and a nice Cabernet ending. A very good Merlot from Howell Mtn near Angwin.

This was a decent Merlot with, I believe, a little cab sauv+cab franc plus petit verdot added in for some palatable variations. Chocolate notes, finish is long, 14.5 abv but not hot. Was good p&p, & better by the next day as well.
