Tasted these at Yangarra. Chris Carpenter is making Hickinbotham there. If you don't know Chris...maybe you know his "Lokoya" Cabernets. On the nose, raspberries, plum, blackberries, black cherries and dry florals. Soft and supple blackberries, plum, dark cherries, strawberries follow late, soft, round and delicate spices, silky tannins and a touch of anise. The finish is lean cherries with medium slightly dry medium plus tannins. Tasted with Chris Carpenter.

I haven't drank much Merlot, apparently this is a pretty good one. Not feeling it but can appreciate it.
