Dark cherries, cherries, tomatoes, getting a little fig/date quality, muddy minerals. Drink it soon as this wine is fading.

Nice hearty Merlot, significantly more grit than most Napa merlot. Lots of cherry and raspberry up front with spice and vanilla in the nose. A bit of earthy tannin in the back. Good with chocolate or something with a bit of spice.

A gem. Nice oak and bold structure for a Merlot. Big cherry fruit with some blackberry and lots of cedar on the nose.

I feel like the 2008 was better when I was here last time, but maybe I'm imagining things
