Waitin' for the weekend

Ok,
Waitin' for my roomate to pick me up to head out to the cabin and I'm still sittin' at work. But, while I'm doing said sitting, I'm drinking the:

Chumeia Merlot 2004

Oh man, this stuff is good. The nose on it just ebbs cozy and warm merlot feeling. (I know that dosen't make any sence, but I'm sure if you have it you'll have total understanding of what I'm talking about.) Nice fruit and toasty, vanilla-like oak hit the tounge like a velvet waterfall. I know some of my cohorts that have had this didn't really like it that much paired with some food, but I think on it's own it makes for a great mid-heavy bodied light tannic sipper meant for the end of the night. If you did pair this with some food, I'd reccomend actually a nice flame roasted steak or a delicious cut of prime rib with all the trimmings. Ohh man. Now I'm getting hungry for the bison ribs that I'm going to do on the BBQ tomorrow night.
That said and done,

I'M OFF! HUZZA!

More posts on beer later...
