Had a lovely dinner Saturday night with the Neiditchi on Saturday night at a Charlotte boite whose name escapes me for the moment--great very modern fusion cooking with a 2002 Sawyer Meritage that had a wonderful nose and Rutherford dust. I'd guess about 85-90% cab and the rest mostly merlot with maybe @2% cab franc & petite verdot. Very drinkable but will hold. winery's story as related by the "bean guy" was similar to Milton Eisele's.
89 of 100 points. Forgot the name of the small cxhampagne estate but it was yeasty and had a good finish. Probably a good QPR 86 points.- posted
