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
