Number 3...my name for the salesman ..brought in some upper end Merryvale this week. Merryvale is a pretty well known winery in napa that does some good things year in and year out. I was hoping for some excitement out of their high tier.
Sihhouette Chardonnay 04 pretty yellow gold color, rich creamy finish but a little quick. typical california chard for those liking a little butter and caramel.
Carneros Pinot Noir 2005 light garnet color, cola or coffee colored, nice acidity and finish but a little heat from all the alcohol which was surprisingly high...
Syrah Napa 2002 current release only their 2nd vintage of this bottling. dark colors and aromas but flavors did not excite.. i was hoping for more.
Cabernet Reserve 03 an opaque purple color with lots of cab flavors in the mouth. was expecting more also but i know that this was a hard vintage comparitively for napa.
