While plush with notes of superripe red plums and vanilla on the nose and palate, Shinn’s Estate Merlot is remarkably complex with shades of dark cocoa powder, purple flowers and a spray of freshly-cut herbs. Sharp acidity and velvety tannins add structure and style. — (9/1/2012) —88

Meaty plum, clove and chocolate hit the nose first, followed by flavors of pepper, oak and spice. There’s an initial, angular blast of cranberry and some thinness in the mouthfeel, but overall, a pleasant selection that will pair well with duck or lamb.——S.K.(2/1/2007)—— 86
