Estancia "Keyes Canyon Ranches" Merlot 2006

A few months back, October perhaps, I had a bottle
of this and thought "Wow--now THAT'S a good
Merlot!" What a fool I was! When drinking the
same vintage, same wine a few nights ago I
noticed a real lack of originality in it. It's
stable, sure. But it's also not much
to write home about. You can taste
the oak, and it's smooth. But that's
about all I can say for it.

Needs improvement.
