Dry and tannic, a Merlot that’s the opposite of softly luxurious. But it’s extremely elegant with its cherry, red currant and bitter cherryskin flavors, and shows true complexity throughout. Just cries out for a fine steak, in a brown butter, soft cheese and garlic sauce. ——S.H.(10/1/2010)—— 91

Not as successful as the winery’s Cabernet, this Merlot is very dry and tannic, with only modest blackberry fruit flavors, but it has a certain elegance. Turns oaky and herbal on the finish. Probably best soon.——S.H.(6/1/2009)—— 87
