Voluptuous and silky, clove and ripe plum. Nice tannic grip on the back end. I wish there was more demand for Merlot out there. Stupid "Sideways"

What a difference a year makes. Still a beast of a wine, but rounding into form. Sarsaparilla, licorice, blackberry compote, framed by really nice toasty oak. These wines are retarded when they're young, almost undrinkable. A year or two in the cellar does wonders. Probably needs five more to be fair. I don't normally drink wine this big on a Wednesday night, but the Supreme Court is going to shit so fuck it.

Continuing on the Bevan train. First ever trip to Merlot! When I saw that he was the winemaker and I next saw the price, I yelled sold and am glad I did. Typically intense with soft to moderate tannins. Totally over delivers for the price.

May 22nd, 2017Monster wine. Still a baby, but showing some serious stuffing. Will be killer in a few years after the oak is more integrated. Really pretty fruit underneath.
