點擊次數：2200

This is a plump, succulent Merlot that exhibits plenty of that variety’s trademark dried herb shadings. Tobacco and vanilla fill out the midpalate, while the finish features dry, silky tannins.——W.E.(8/1/2006)—— 87

This vast vineyard, in the southern Salinas Valley, has proven itself increasingly capable of producing fine wines from most varieties. Now it shows its hand at Merlot. More work is needed, but this wine is ripe, dry and complex, although a little too oaky. ——S.H.(11/15/2005)—— 86

Plummy, oaky and mildly herbaceous in a tomato-like manner, this Merlot has good texture and full plum, earth and cocoa flavors. With its 15% alcohol it runs a bit hot, but it has decent acidity and a full finish with broad, mouth-coating tannins. Almost over the top, but hangs on.——W.E.(9/1/2000)—— 88
