Bid on this bottle of 1997 Merryvale "Reserve" Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. Wine Enthusiast: "Rich, dense and cool, with an overt menthol streak. The fat, tangy fruit has a cedar edge and also a pronounced piercing quality. Round, voluminous, tannic and in general quite big. Now the wood is a bit heavy-handed. A year or two on its side should help it along." (11/2000)

Wine Spectator
Weaves together complex, earthy cherry and currant flavors framed by toasty, cedary oak, with an elegant aftertaste. (JL)
