Smells distinctly Porty, with caramel and baked brown sugar, and turns meltingly soft and sweetish in blackberry pie filling and sweetened espresso flavors. Drink now. ——S.H.(12/15/2006)—— 84

The 2002 La Storia Meritage (a Bordeaux blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc) possesses medium body, a deep ruby/purple color, cedar, spice, and earth characteristics, good richness, and a big-boned, brawny finish. It’s a fine wine, but for my taste, not any better than the less expensive cuvees. Tel. (707) 433-3104; Fax (707) 433-5825

A lovely wine, solidly in the classic North Coast style of elaborate fruit and lush, soft tannins. Floods the mouth with delicious blackberry and currant flavors, well-framed with smoky vanillins from oak barrels. Straddles a nice line between sweetness and toughness. Best now. ——S.H.(5/1/2004)—— 90
