Surprise 2009 Napa Merlot tasting after the Pahlmeyer tasting.
Deep and dark ruby red. Layered nose with a little bit of stinginess, cassis, black currants, and blackberries. Heavy tannins (7.5/10) and medium plus to full bodied. Solid acidity and notes of dark berries, spices, graphite and pencil shavings. Long finish. Drink till 2022.

Awful. The cab is usually spot on, but this merlot was sweet like the wine I would buy underage at a gas station.
