I purchased one just to try and was very impressed. Definitely equivalent to a $20 - $25 bottle, Have purchased a dozen whilst still available due to missing out on previous impressive cleanskins

I was hesitant in buying a clean skin as I haven’t had much success in the past but I was pleasantly surprised. Happy to buy again - good every day drop!

This is a smooth fantastic bottle for the price. Let it breath and the aromas spill out and the sharpness fades into what you would think is a $20 bottle.

A Practical Review

Been on a cleanskin-hunt recently. This one deserved a review. For the $9 tag, the 2014 vintage is great bargain. Decant it and hide the bottle and nobody would know you weren't serving them a $20-25 Merlot. Nose: pepper, tobacco, liquor

Only the 2008, Not the 2010

Had a wicked 2008. Great roundness with real juicy blackcurrant and cherries. However, I bought a 2010 as a follow up and it was dreadful. Worse than the $2 Cab Merlot. Maybe it was a one off or the 2010 needs a couple more years to mature

A clone of the AD HOC 2008 Cab Merlot from Larry Cherubino.

A clone of the AD HOC 2008 Cab Merlot from Larry Cherubino. Oversupply and a great wine. Buy them before I get the lot. Especially for $8 .Usually sells for $21 or in restaraunts for $35 ...Do your research.
