  • 1995 Merryvale Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve - USA, California, Napa Valley (4/4/2009)
    Opened on Friday night and the wine was tight and funky. Put the cork back in and left it for Saturday, but a big wine event did not allow me to taste that evening. Opened back up on Sunday afternoon and this was one fine Cab!! Nice dark color in the glass with dark fruit and leather on the nose. The wine opened up to blackberry and dark plum on the palate, with a smokey note. The finish was long and smooth, with the chocolate notes coming out for a great finish. Nice wine, and the original purchase was $25. (92 pts.)

Wow, that must have some major life in it! A '95 and it took two days of being open to come out…

$25 - helluva steal, too
