Frog's Leap Merlot Rutherford Napa Valley 2007

This Merlot was AMAZING. Really, really good. I hardly ever drink more than a glass, but I drank two and a half of this. It was great!

The aerator made a huge difference. All that unnecessary acidity found in most wines wasn't in this glass after the wine had been aerated. The bouquet surprised me by its profound openness and freshness. It was rather mild than smooth, medium-bodied for Merlot, not too sweet, not too dry, just well-balanced and perfect. Frog's Leap satisfied me SO well.
