Anyone had any young Merryvale Cabs, like from 2006 or 2005?

2004 Merryvale Cabernet Sauvignon Starmont (USA, California, Napa Valley) 9/15/2008 jnastynebr 86
Dark ruby in the glass. Pleasant nose of vanilla, spice, and flowers. Dark fruit on the palate with cigar, currant, Asian seasoning, creamy oak, and a subtle mineral note on the medium finish. Much more fruit forward than the 03 or 05. Tannins come through lightly on the finish. Ready to drink, but may integrate with some time in the cellar. The 05 will be the better wine. (No formal TN, but I scored the 2005 at 88 points in a retail tasting.) Kill the poor- DK |

Many thanks.
I may be there at Merryvale shortly, and I wanted to hear what people are saying. Irwin Unless you're the lead sled dog, the view never changes. |
