RATINGS

93Robert M. Parker Jr.

...wonderfully rich, toffee, coffee, berry fruit flavors married brilliantly with sweet, toasty new oak. The finish is explosively rich.

91Stephen Tanzer

Maturing aromas of roasted tomato, truffle and game. Very sweet and seamless on the palate, with a distinctly gamey quality. Not particularly lively but nicely balanced and completely satisfying for current drinking.

TYPE

Red Wine, Merlot

The Merlot grape is such a deep blue that it is named for the blackbird. It’s an early ripening grape and one of the primary varietals used In Bordeaux. Merlot is also grown in the "International style," which is harvested later to bring out more tannins and body.
