Bink, Merlot, 2003, $30 ****


Bink is her cat. Let's get that out of the way first because people keep asking me--what's with the name? And I met her and tasted wine while she talked about them. I've mentioned before that when you are in front of the wine maker tasting the wines they made, there is a distinct tendency for the wine to taste better than it would otherwise. So, what I try to do is re-taste which I just did with the 2003 Merlot. And I was right the first time, it's great. Rich blackberry and earthiness with some spice just to keep things interesting. As you drink it just keeps getting better and better.
