2002 Arcipal Meritage

[winoweenie]

Lovely balance in the nose between flowers and spices. From the Sonoma side of the Mayacamus Mtn appelation this is one killer meritage. Had it today with BRW with a 2000 Dehlinger High Plains and a 94 Kenwood Jack London. Will report tomorrow on the individual bottles but thot I'd make this early post in case the BRWino mite want to post before leaving tomorrow for a cruise of the Greek islands. WW ( Forgot to mention this is a project of Jess Jacksons' Verite line-up at a fraction of their price.)

WW, do you think this is an ager or drink now?

[winoweenie]

IMHO I think this is a medium term ager that should improve for the next 5-7 and hold for another 5-6. WW

OK WW, I found a good price and went ahead and ordered a case based on your recommendation. I found it for 22.50 a bottle and ordered a mixed case of 01 and 02.

I am in need of a good daily drinker to go with grilled meats and this sounds like it will be the ticket.
