Velvety in the mouth, this very cherry Merlot is bursting with ripe fruit flavors. More than just a fruit bomb, it has outstanding structure and the kind of balance required for serious aging.

92 Points, Wine Advocate (April 2006) "…delightful black cherry, spice and sage aromas…"

91 Points, Connoisseurs' Guide (July 2006) "A Merlot with lots of volume and loads of dark cherry fruit to go with its very considerable appointment of spicy oak."

91 Points, Wine Spectator (June 2006) "...graceful not heavy, packed with licorice-scented currant and black pepper flavors..."

3 Stars, San Francisco Chronicle (Oct. 2006) "...luscious black plum, black raspberry, chocolate, vanilla and brown spice..."
