I lost the cork removal battle here. After some filtration acrobatics it was intact and good to go. I’m an unabashed fan of Spring Mountain merlot (Keenan, Pride, Paloma, Barnett) and this is usually right up there for me....but this vintage is waning and doesn’t having that characteristic extra punch I expect that elevates it above valley floor merlot. Could be just this bottle but I’d drink up the ‘05s if you have them.

Another kick ass performance from a Spring Mountain merlot. Bold, dense and chewy, expresso and black cherry with significant warmth and length. If you think you don't like merlot ascend the circular back roads of Spring Mountain (or go online if you're lazy) and get a Switchback, Pride Mountain vintner select, Paloma, Keenan or Barnett and you can thank me later. These plump full bodied babes will change your mind about the varietal.
