2000 Spicewood Merlot

[hotwine]

Had another tonight with left-over pieces of oak-grilled Omaha Steaks NY strips (gifted at Christmas... tender, but no flavor). The Merlot seems to be fading.... a lot more like a dying Beaujolais than anything else. Glad this was the last.

Don't know why OS beef is raved about. Must be pure PR, same as Ruth's Chris Steakhouse fare. Looks good, but that dog won't hunt.
