Oh my. Deep dark fruit smoke, cedar on the nose. Massive structure, deep tannins and long finish. Massive full mouth feel. Big sexy wine. Chairman’s Reserve. These are perfect for the night. — 6 years ago

Pulled this out of the cellar. Shockingly good. I should buy more Merryvale. Beautiful smooth delicious cab. Wonderful from beginning to end. It is what a cab is supposed to be. — 7 years ago

Good older vintage. Drinking really well right now. Fruit is mellow and secondary favors have started to emerge which for me is the sweet spot. — 8 years ago

A really very good Chardonnay - surprisingly do since the last time I tasted this second label from Merryvale. Great balance and juiciness with little trace of oak. — 9 years ago

This wine is good, but at this price point good is not good enough. I feel like their reds are much better, but am never really satisfied with their whites. When Beringer PR and Merryvale are considerably better chards at half the price, we have a problem. I hate being this critical, but it is what it is. — 7 years ago

After 22 years my hopes were not high. Wow. Just as good, if not better than when I tasted it for the first time at Merryvale back in the 90s...when I bought this bottle.

Crisp. Tart, but not overly so. A perfect champagne for someone who dislikes your general run-of-the-mill champagne. — 9 years ago

Ferrari-Carano was my introduction to upscale Cabernets. Though it came from an off year in Napa vintage-wise, this aged beautifully, and had a lot more fruit present than expected. We did a side by side with an 06 Merryvale, and the 3 extra years of age was immediately noticeable. Always a great, classy bottle to gift. — 11 years ago
