Robert Keenan Winery
Napa Valley Merlot
Napa Valley, California, USA
Last had this bottle about a year ago. Reading that note I don't think I gave it enough air. I let it sit in the glass for 90+ minutes this time. Muted dark fruit on the nose, silky mouthfeel and nice medium long finish with the good kind of tannins. Now I am sad I don't have more as I think there is room to improve.

Drank the 2007. Classical California Merlot . Velvet smooth on the palate with soft tannins on the finish, fruit was subdued but I liked it.

Vintage 2007 - Not drinkable
Will try another bottle soon to see if all 2007 is bad
Tried a second bottle of the 2007 and it was equally bad
