Feb 7th, 2016Rated this an 89 about a year and a half ago and my rating is unchanged today. Not my choice to open and sorta relied on the person who chose it to finish it off. Mushroom funk like the last time. Muted fruit. Some earthy characteristics but never came to life. Disjointed. Uninspiring. Disappointing as I quite like Keenan wines on a whole.

Not a typical merlot. Given the big fruit and spice it drank more like a zin, which I like. Definitely going to look for this at this store.
