Prospecta Creek Papio Merlot 2005
Region: Woodbridge, California
Winery: Prospect Creek
Variety: Merlot

The motto on the side of this bottle actually reads, "Bring the monkey to the party with Papio!" I am not kidding. Of course, this is the main reason I dropped a Lincoln on this bottle, but that was still not enough to keep me from dumping it out after letting half the bottle sit for a day. Bland, fishy and mostly awful at the first taste, this wine actually gets slightly better if you leave it out at room temperature for a night, sort of like how dog poop gets better as the stink dissipates.
