(Writing review a month after drinking), Drank next to a far superior wine which over shadowed this, did not care for it. It did not have any obvious flaws, it lacked the delicious factor to my recollection

Lighter and cleaner then the '03 regular bottling. Thinner and more tart as well. In fact, I like the regular bottling more. Gripping finish, with some heat at the end. This is not a wine I would recommend to anyone.

Dry Creek Vineyards (Upstairs (The Jug)): I surprisingly enjoyed the regular Merlot better than the single vyd. Aromatics are lighter with red plum and mocha. The palate is full bodied and soft with blackberries, mocha, toast, and velvety tannins. Acidity is higher than the regular bottling as well.
