I loved this red. Mernet is now a new favorite; however, my budget cannot handle wines of this price too often. The body and structure of a cabernet without the tannins. The smooth and velvety texture and finish of a merlot... a great combination!

I opened this bottle knowing full well it was sooner than I ordinarily drink reds. My hope was the high proportion of merlot and the fruit-forward nature of the 2007 cabernet would make this approachable (and not cause me to second-guess my decision).
I poured the wine through a vinerator and allowed it to open in the glass over the course of the evening. This was a very good bottle and hit the spot alongside some grilled grass-fed rib eyes. I will sit tight on my remaining bottles though; they will undoubtedly get better over the next several years.
If I could give this four and a half stars, I would. I'm convinced this wine hasn't yet shown all its stuff and may warrant a fifth star in the future.
