The deep ruby/purple-tinged 2001 Merlot is a straightforward, attractive, elegant, but essentially one-dimensional offering. Drink it over the next 2-3 years.Tel. (707) 968-3633; Fax (707) 968-3632

There’s a good wine in here but it’s disguised now beneath firm, astringent tannins. Chew it a little, and you’ll find some plush black cherry and blackberry fruit. The oak also stands out, with edgy char and smoke. Give it a few years to come together. ——S.H.(8/1/2004)—— 88
