Resembled an old welches grape in the glass, nearly opaque, rimmed with dark ruby. Nose was dark fruit, perhaps some candied; a hint of fresh, raw celery.

A blueberry fruitiness upfront with perhaps a hint of sweet apple undr the tounge. Mild, yet present, drying tannins. A kind of hickory flavoring, not quite smokey. Finishes with a lightly acidic fruitiness.

Paso Robles 14.4% . Part of a package. Pretty tastey!

Which bottling of TJ Merlot was this one. I don't have any record of getting one with a shipment, but have ordered the Made in the Shade with special orders.

This one was the made in the shade. It was from one of my first or second shipments from TJ...the one with the nice heavy blue napkin holders. I got extra cases shipped and got a deal. I'm guessing maybe saving my last bottle another year to see if some changes.

You know, I was looking through a stack of notes/reciepts/old order forms. I can't tell for sure when I got this merlot. I think I may have been mistaken and ordered these bottles seperate from the club shipment.
