RATINGS

91Robert M. Parker Jr.

...a smoky, black-cherry, and vanillin-scented nose, a wonderfully sweet entry on the palate, and a rich, full-bodied, tarry, well-balanced finish.

91Stephen Tanzer

Showy, perfumed nose displays floral and woodsmoke nuances. Sweet, supple and intensely flavored; in a fruity style but quite tightly wrapped. Bright acidity gives the high-pitched flavors excellent delineation. Subtle, firm and long.

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.
