What to Expect

Merlot has gotten a bad rap as of late but there is no denying the wine's appeal. Packed with deep, dark berry fruit and nuanced hints of cocoa, herb and earth with a soft structure. Its velvety texture makes Merlot instantly appealing and an obvious alternative to similar, more tannic Bordeaux varieties.

Now we're talking! After a somewhat disappointing 2002, the 2003 is rockin' it! Great blackberry, cherry, and vanilla flavors. A bit tannic and oaky still, with solid acidity. Some drying tannins on the finish. Outstanding - 93 points (Owen Roe DuBrul Merlot Vertical, 99-06).

Decanted 1 hour. A very rich Merlot. Lots of earthy characteristics, along with very nice blackberry fruit. Some vanilla/oak flavors coming through as well, although much more integrated than I remember from my last tasting. Full in the mouth, with a touch of tannins, but nothing big at all. Very impressed with the length of fruit and earth on the finish of this wine.
