Found this orphan and 2 siblings in the cellar. Grapes from the Summit Ranch high on Spring Mountain this is atypical of Calif Merlot. Still deep ruby with only a hint of orange on the rim. Lots of lovely floral, spice, and brite red fruit notes on the nose. On the palate, the fruit came across as more cassis-jammy like. Soft entry medium center and an almost solid 4-lapper finish. No perceptible tannis so the other 2 will get immediate attention. 88/90 25 by the box. 13% alc. WW

Y'know, one of these days I'm flying out to America, hunting down Winoweenies Pondarosa and helping him "prune" his cellar. I'll even bring the cheese and crackers. [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/smile.gif[/img]

You're invited anytime Skeets. Seems that the more I look in the cellar the more orphans I discover.(Much to BigRedWines delight). WW

I think WW's would be a dandy place for the offline 2006. We could help him clean out the cellar.

We'll discuss this in depth in August in Wash. WW

If this is true I may just wet myself. If there weren't already enough reasons to go to Wash, preping WW for my visit just put me right over the edge. [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/smile.gif[/img]

Great, he takes me seriously, and I'm 16, 000km west of his cellar. [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/smile.gif[/img] Make it in January '06, and I might be able to divert to Chigo for http://www.b-fest.com en route.

Sorry BRW but, unfortunately, we had a funeral (Granddaughters Hubbys' Grandpa) and I took both my eldest daughter, who is visiting my middle, who is recovering from thyroid surgery to lunch at Basis. (Sounds like the next 14 episods of " As the World Shifts"). I'll call Mon. WW
