Carneros, North Coast, California, USA
This is the 2001 Shug “Heritage Reserve“ Carneros Merlot which apparently has around 6% cab in it. There is just enough fruit left to pair it with my attempt at Persian beef kebabs (Kubideh) which I hope will make my father-in-law proud.

Earthy and robust in its presentation. Great stuff. Med+ complexity, med+ finish, med - acidity.

Great merlot. Black licorice/anise, cherries with a hint of olive. Palate was all fruit, mid palate was slightly thin but the finish was a medium - medium plus. Cheers.
