Merlot!!!! 2013 vintage. Opens up wonderfully almost from popping the cork. Rich for a Merlot and thus the high rating. Shared it with the beautiful Tara High.

Just bought four of these in a close out. The first bottle was fantastic. Paired it with my own left over smoked short rib. It feels like a cab, drink now or lay down for another five. I'm headed back tomorrow for the rest of their stock!!
