2006 Switchback Ridge Merlot Peterson Family Vineyard - USA, California, Napa Valley (9/6/2009)
WIML90
Tasted September 6, 2009.
Served from 375ml format. Opened and glass decanted about 30 minutes before serving. Dark garnet to purple color in the glass, clear hue throughout. Attractive nose of florals, mixed rich fruits and a little saddlesoap. Flavors of berries, raspberries and a touch of Kirsch. Light to medium acidity, medium to integrated tannins, medium body. Drink now, at least in this format. Perhaps hold in larger formats. (90 pts.)
