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.

"Intense aromas of raspberry sauce with vanilla cream. Full-bodied, soft and round with lots of fruit and a caressing, seductive texture on the finish. Big and juicy. Blockbuster...95." WS 9/05

Rating: 91/100 - As reviewed by International Wine Cellar in Issue 128, September/October 2006 ($275) Opaque ruby-black. Blackberry, espresso liqueur and the licorice aroma typical to this wine are complemented by a stony nuance. Creamy and dense, with lovely chocolate, mocha and herbal flavors that persist impressively on the back end. Ripely tannic, but here the tannins do not become astringent with prolonged aeration, which sets the wine above all the other '03s produced here. As good as this is, though, I feel that some of the hype bestowed upon this wine is off the mark. (Winebow, Inc., Hohokus, NJ)
