Another super meritage. Deep brite ruby,with more pronounced spice in the nose. All 5 of the blending grapes are used in this bottling.Slightly stronger entry than the Tapestry, but the center and finish are about the same. The speculator adorned this bottling with the "Raise the Price Mantle "( wine of the year) and since the pricing has doubled on the following vintages. Too bad. 92/90. 29 by the box. WW
