I consider this a more full bodied wine. Typically a Cab drinker but this Merlot was quite good. Strong plum and cranberry flavors with a bit of a peppery finish. Alcohol content seems high with half glass consumed! Surprised that I am enjoying this one as much as I am. — 10 years ago

In 1942, a single barrel, which is stored in the "cellar", was put aside with orders that it should only be opened when Puerto Rico becomes a free and independent nation. When and if that ever happens, the cask (barrel) will be taken to the town square in the center of Bayamon and its contents will be offered free to all those who wish to drink from it. — 11 years ago
Second label from Etude. Starting to show some great Santa Barbara Pinot characteristics. Fiddlestix and North Canyon Vineyard fruit. 100% Pinit Noir. Restaurant only but you may be able to find it in some independent bottle shops. — 12 years ago
