Dark, slightly clingy purple with near opaque core. Inviting nose and full-bodied palate yield ashen blueberry, ripe black plum, and light graphite. Velvety medium plus tannins buffeted by light French oak. Finish is lengthy and dark chocolate infused. Well-structured but still with rich warm-climate fruit. An excellent food--friendly Merlot that can spar with the best of the Right bBank. Drink now through 2030 with a Porterhouse or beef stew. — 5 months ago

2011 vintage. Light-medium body. Only hints of baby fat remaining at this point. Graphite, cassis, dusty gravel on a lean but smooth finish that went 30 seconds. Picked up two cases for the resto for the nice price and we'll see how it goes. Definite value Napa time capsule. 10.30.24. — 3 months ago
