Took a while to open up in the glass, but this wine is very well structured with fine tannins and depth. Herbal, eucalyptus note underlies the fruit.

Amazing. Absolutely obsessed. I've been won over by the Sullivan wines, and this may be the best merlot I've EVER had. BIG- almost drinks like a cab with an exquisite dry finish. Drinking on day 2- just incredible. #AllRoadsLeadToRutherford

Surprisingly tight right after opening. Opened up and softened quite a bit after just 30 min which I guys makes sense for age and merlot from that region/wineru is basically like a big cab. Might be past its prime but did not taste like it was off.
