1983 Boeger Merlot

3/21/13-The brown bag wine sampled at the Thursday wine tasting at the Folsom Lakeforest wine store was a 1983 Boeger merlot.  Raj Sachdeva, the wine store owner, nailed it this time, guessing it to be a mid 80’s merlot.  The wine was very pleasant with softened sweet cherry fruit, and has met the 3^rd decade in reasonably good shape.
