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.

2007 vintage poured November 2, 2021. Not as enjoyable as the bottle poured in April. But good enough for leftover roast beef.

2007 vintage poured in 2021. Not the best pairing with hot dogs and hamburgers, but it was enjoyable. Very smooth with mild tannins.

Delicious Merlot. Loads of fruit and a long smooth finish. Best Merlot we have had in a while. Out of character for most Merlots.
