The three vintages of Reserve Merlot were impressive. The 1991 Merlot Reserve reveals exotic, pronounced, toasty, smoky oak in its nose, as well as creamy, ripe, chewy fruit, a monolithic personality, but good depth. It should drink well for a decade. Under the winery's Reserve Merlot program, 1500 cases (all 6-bottle packs) are released after the wine has spent three years in barrel.Tel. (707) 833-4134; Fax (707) 833-4200
