Cellared for 6 years (and we suspected it may have crested the hill), but this showed surprisingly well - deep honeyed color, developed tertiary flavors of toffee, caramel, mudapple, and stewed apricots, mouth-filling creaminess, and enough acid to keep it fresh. Satisfying finish that lingers. — 8 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. — 8 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. — 9 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. — 10 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. — 12 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. — 10 years ago
