Sunbird Red Meritage

Just had a coravin taste of the 18. Really drinking well right out of the body. Mellowing out, big fruit, great structure, softening up for a great mouthfeel. This is gonna be really good soon.

Same comments as before. Didn’t realize I had pulled one of these just a few weeks ago. Oops. Still have a few left I’ll remember to let sit. Drinking well for an ‘18. Still needs a solid 45+ min decant now though. Dense nice mouthfeel. Black and red fruit, wet earth, sweet tobacco. Smooth chewy tannins. Nice acidity that’ll let this age nicely for another 8-10 years. Good smooth finish. Alcohol hidden pretty well.

Same comments as before. The ‘18 is drinking well with a 45 min decant, but I’ll keep holding my other bottles for a while.

Young? Holding on to 2 more.

A bit shy on the nose - but getting cherry and forest. Ruby colored. Pretty smooth for an ‘18, considering the 17 was a bit tight at this age. Decanted 40 min. Nice ripe cherry, vanilla, oak. Long finish. High alcohol but not too obvious. Pretty smooth tannins. This one should be great in a few years. Already drinking very smooth and mellow with a decant.
