making tea and thought I have a sip of this wonderful Merlot. California 2009 Sutter Home and why? The ripped foil all the way to the left. Wine has been open since New Years Party! INDESTRUCTIBLE! that is California for you. I am sure Governor hates for rest of today. Bashing California wine (again). Color is deep burgundy at core and slight orange at the rims. Forget the nose. It does have a fake aged fruits and dried fruits but is wine close to dying flavor. I would give it another two to three months before can be detected as not good by average Joe and Jane. It has huge backbone. This is strong wine in structure. Both fruit and alcohol were strong. Puckers. You know that one. Enjoy?
