Merryvale’s Profile remains a star year after year. The ’04 is nearly all Cabernet Sauvignon, and stuns with its power. With a smooth, complex tannin structure, it’s rich in currants, blackberries and cedar, but is too young to open now. Should hit its stride around 2010 and continue to develop for some years after. Tasted twice, with consistent results.——S.H.(12/1/2008)—— 94

Merryvale’s Profile has been one of the most reliable Bordeaux blends for a long time, and the ’03, which is mainly Cab Sauvignon, is a very fine expression of the house style. A blend of impressive vineyards, it’s opulent in black currant flavors, and is most notable for its softly elegant balance. It’s the kind of wine that will dazzle even people who say they don’t like reds. Best now–2011 or so.——S.H.(5/1/2007)—— 93
