Bangs or no bangs? I'm going to offer her up for adoption either way.

this was pretty nasty straight out of the bottle, but an hour in the decanter warming up improved it considerably. however, still the worst of the laithwaites clarets so far.

Tasting Notes:
Merlot is arguably the most important grape grown on the North Fork. Our conditions here are favorable to producing a balanced, rich and complex wine similar to European versions rather than some higher alcohol, less complex California Merlots. The excellent 2006 vintage produced a wine of medium-full body and intense color. The nose is solid, more four-square than round in its impression. It is full of intense black plum, blackberry, briar, toast, cedar and a light vanilla not. There are very fine, medium tannins, and a full mid-palate. The acidity is uplifting and refreshing, and balances a dense core of red and black fruit flavors. This is a long complex wine-sleeker, and more refined than in years past. It should be noted that a great deal of wines originally intended for the Musee (which was not made in 2006) are now providing a dynamic component to the Estate Merlot.
