Note di degustazione
The 2005 Proprietary Red Mernet Reserve is an equal-part blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot from their Spring Mountain vineyards. This is super-concentrated, but the incremental richness and ripeness build up. The wine is very young, youthful, but sadly, there are only 350 cases of it. Pure and rich, it offers blueberry, black raspberry and blackberry fruit, flowers, a hint of minerality, and a full-bodied mouthfeel, but striking elegance and purity. Forget this for another 3-4 years and drink it over the following two decades.

Another stylish offering is the 2005 Mernet Reserve, a blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon and 50% Merlot (350 cases). It exhibits a deep ruby/purple hue in addition to an attractive bouquet of white chocolate, licorice, and sweet blueberry and red cherry fruit, medium to full body, and well-integrated tannin, acidity, and wood. This Margaux-like red can be enjoyed over the next 10-15 years. Previously recommended: 2004 Cabernet Franc (94), 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve (94+), 2004 Merlot Reserve Mailbox Vineyard (91), 2004 Mernet Reserve (95). Tel. (707) 963-9177; Fax (707) 963-8209
