I have some red wines from 2002,2003 and 2005, pinot noir, merlot at room temp. Do you think they are still ok to drink?
Answer From Expert Roger Bohmrich MW
I really can't give you an answer without knowing the specific wines which you have. I am guessing they are New World wines since you're using a grape name - California or other - so that suggests that they are likely to be enjoyable right now, particularly if you are storing them at room temperature. More serious, concentrated examples might improve, however. Let me have more exact information, and I'll try to refine my advice.
