Wow. Surprise of the night. Bright. Balanced. Still in full swing.

From their first vintage, this is a merlot-driven meritage. Hard to pin down in terms of flavors - an unusual combination of primary and secondary components - that actually improved in the glass. I'm a bit more partial to their more recent vintages, but still a terrific wine.
