Muscedere Vineyards 2008 Meritage
I bumped into an acquaintance on the way into the tasting and he mentioned that the Muscedere Syrah was the best wine of the day ... makes me wonder if he even bothered to taste their Meritage. This is truly an impressive wine and very limited (85 cases), comprising of 64% Merlot, 22% Cabernet Sauvignon and 14% Cabernet Franc. This wine is at least 2-3 years from being ready to drink, the tannins are rough and the fruit has yet to fully integrate, but the flavours are there and once those tannins mellow, the wood steps back a bit and the fruit comes more into focus, this will be a beauty wine. One of the Muscedere brothers (or maybe it was both of them) mentioned that the wine was bottled and released specifically for this event, "it hasn't been in bottle even a week yet". Those with some hindsight would be wise to buy a few bottles and Fonzie this wine (sit on it) for a few years. Price: $30.00 - Rating: ****1/2
