Default Glen Ellen Wine ???

Howdy:

I just got a case of Glen Ellen Cabernet. As I pulled the 750 ml bottles
out of the box I noticed someting unusual about the labels. Looking closer
I noted that there was one label upon another. I pulled off the topmost
label, Cabernet 2001, to find a label for Merlot 2002 underneath!

After a bit of detective work I found the number for customer service at
Wine Group Inc. handling issues concerning Glen Ellen (whom they bought
out). Customer service person in a recording said to leave a detailed
message and that she would get back to me in a couple of days.

Anyone have comments on the practice of putting a label for Cabernet over a
label for Merlot... besides backdating the vintage a year?

Sincerely,
Tom
