RATINGS

93+ Stephen Tanzer

92Robert M. Parker Jr.

..aromatics (chocolate, jammy red and black fruits, and vanilla), full body, loads of dense, thick, unctuously-textured flavors, low acidity, and a long, spicy, powerful finish. For its size, this wine keeps everything in perspective...

92Wine Spectator

Young, tight and focused, with a brilliant core of cedar-tinged currant and black cherry flavors and, on the finish, a pretty floral and spice edge. Best cellared into 1999 to 2001.

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.
