2002 Castle Rock Merlot

[AzWino]

Ic,

Welcome to the board! One thing you mentioned really stuck out to me. That was refrigerating the merlot.

Merlots and red wines in general are better at at what they say is room temp, being between 62 to 65 degrees F. So a good rule of thumb is to take it out of the fridge and let stand for 20 minutes and let it warm up to room temp.

Hope you enjoy it again as much as you did the first time.

Good Luck, Good Drinking and Cheers!
