Sweet cherry fruit, some chocolate and a hint of green pepper. Soft, easy-going palate. Very nice, if not as distinguished as other examples of this I have had...

Surprisingly delicious at 10 years of age. Wonderful ripe Napa jelly fruit. Surprisingly good acid, the tannins have receded but still provide some structure. Rarely drink Napa merlot but this is compelling. Certainly somewhat biased by the fact that I worked on this vineyard in 2011. Nice pairing with skirt steak on the grill.

Spicy upfront and when opened up full bodied with great structure fresh notes of red fruit.

Wow. Really good merlot, and I usually prefer cabs. Best of the day.

A little bizarre merlot. All the grippy tannins of cab and some of the fruit too.

Low tannins, red fruit forward. Very jammy and well rounded.
