RATINGS

92Stephen Tanzer

Then sweet, silky and vinous, with lovely complexity and class to its plum, cherry, currant, spice and mineral flavors. Harmonious acidity gives this suave, complete merlot a penetrating quality.

16Jancis Robinson

Clean, fresh and polished. Quite marked acidity on the finish - presumably an Elgin effect - but very distinctive and confident.

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.
