Wondrous. Took advice from a sampling of previous reviews and let it breathe for a couple hours first, before trying.

My love affair with Atlas Peak Merlot continues. Much lighter and more brick red / ruby in color than expected which is fitting for this more rugged, rustic expression. Red vines, brambly things, gravel, sagebrush, dusty tannins, beautiful acidity (thanks to that iron rich volcanic soil maybe?). Drinking nicely today, but would want to revisit in 5, 10 years.
