Perhaps it's the vintage, but definitely not holding up as well as the '02 and '07 estate merlot. In many vintages this is a great standin for the Old Vines at more than 2x the price. Overall a great value wine.

This full bodied Estate Selection Merlot is wonderful and well worth it’s price point. It’s full of black cherries and red plums. It’s the North Forth at its best!

Amazed that this came from Long Island. Tastes like a new world maker making old world style or vice versa. Maybe thinner on the palate than some older vintages, but still nice and drinking now.
