For those out there still not drinking Merlot: keep it up. I'll take all of this off your hands. Structure, elegance, yet still full of power. Unless you aren't into that kind of thing.

Very, very, very delicious. Great fruit, very true for Howell Mt. Hint of conifer, but bracing acidity.

Mashed blueberries, huckleberry compote and brown paper bag on the nose. The body of this wine is incredible. Full from front to finish but still firm with nice form. Not fleshy just full, kept in balance by edges of acidity and tannins. The mid palate show very little fruit, this wine is all about the finish. Absolute pleasure to toast.

Nice merlot. Medium body. Short smooth finish. Behind the hourglass but ahead of the twomy.
