Looks like they’re identical. Mine was MC offer as well.
Oh not quite identical. I don’t have '88 Cooke or 95 Donnell Merlot. But similar mix.
oh good, I was about to get perturbed I paid more for the same as the regular release lol
My MC Offer was delivered yesterday. I’ve enjoyed all of these Ravenswood Library releases, but the Merlots have been some of the best.

That’s a great box! My experience though about 4 cases were Icon meh, Pickberry ok, Zin very good and Merlot great
No kidding, amazing box! I wish I knew someone here on WB so I could get fancy picks like that…oh, wait…
The funny thing is my wife and I haven’t found a merlot we like and we love Monte Rosso and Teldeschi Zin. Those were our favorites out of what we’ve had from a previous offer too.
I’m happy to experiment though and having everyone else jealous means I should be happy.
I’m also happy to share meeting up somewhere like Lotus of Siam if someone does a Vegas trip.
oh wow, that’s a fun idea - a Ravenswood LoS event!
Sucks you got all the great merlot and you don’t like it!

It’s time to put together a wine dinner field trip!
Was just thinking it would be difficult, in this instance, as most of these wines are quite old and would need to be stood up for several days, minimum, for clarity!

Who knew we would reach a time where a wine geek would bemoan a lack of Merlot.

Not sure I’ve seen much out there on the cab franc before
First Cab Franc for me
Excited to taste through these, as I only have one mag left from all the previous offerings
All have been super fun to taste and I have enjoyed every bottle.
