Nice Merlot with some ribeyes on the grill. Oak still not fully integrated and there is more of an opulent glycerine quality than I expected for a ridge. But still nice.

Consistently one of my favorite merlots. One week away from our trip to Sonoma and Napa with @Michael Altimare and @Lindsay Altimare!
