Dark and dusty, with streaks of metal and mineral, this complex Merlot retains the elegance so rarely found in domestic versions. Cassis and plum flavors melt into supple tannins soaked in espresso. Ready to drink now.——P.G.(4/1/2012)—— 90

Tight and nicely constructed, this is not afraid to show its herbal side. Tannins are earthy and firm, the fruit tight and focused, and the wine might benefit from a few more years in the bottle. What’s already there is cassis, tar and earth, finishing with a light but balanced fade.——P.G.(12/1/2010)—— 88

Dark, tannic and toasty, it’s a rich mouthful of wine. The fruit is moderately ripe, with light berry flavors; but the toast and chocolate and coffee barrel flavors add a lot of weight and punch. Nice winemaking from Gordy Hill turns out a delicious wine.——P.G.(9/1/2010)—— 89
