a tremendous wine that shows how merryvale is absolutely at the top of its game. impeccable in structure, with refined tannins that are soft and firm at the same time, and a fine cut of acidity. entirely dry, the cabernet sauvignon-based blend is awesome in blackberry, cherry, cassis and oak flavors, with complexities of anise, soy sauce, grilled meats and minerals. beyond the particulars, it just feels dramatic and rich in the mouth. a great wine that should develop in the bottle over the next decade.
