The bright acidity and blackberry fruitiness fools you. Further inspection yields cardamon and dark cocoa worthy of age.

2007 vintage poured in February, 2022. I rated this lower in November, 2021 when paired with roast beef. Today it was paired with salty hamburgers. It was fabulous! I believe the saltiness really helped this Merlot stand out. A great combination.

Feb 27th, 20222007 vintage poured November 2, 2021. Not as enjoyable as the bottle poured in April. But good enough for leftover roast beef.
