A spectacular Merlot that could help resurrect this variety’s reputation. It’s as complex as anything from Napa, but is softer and more accessible than a Cabernet Sauvignon, which constitutes 8% of the blend. Shows ripe flavors of red cherry pie filling, raspberries and cola, almost like a Pinot Noir, except for the black currants that must come from the Cab, and of course the tannins, which are rich and fine. Simply gorgeous and compelling. now–2013.——S.H.(11/1/2010)—— 93

Smooth and velvety, this is the kind of wine even people who don’t like reds will savor. It’s very rich and sensuous in black and red cherry, currant, plum, mocha and cinnamon spice flavors, tucked into intricate, fine tannins. Now through 2010. ——S.H.(2/1/2009)—— 90
