Solid wine - very generous & expressive aromas of plums, blackberry compote, mulberry, licorice, wet clay and Earth. Fairly rigid tannins, big full bodied, voluptuous and lots of ripe black fruit on mid-palate. Finish was not as long or persistent as expected. Could benefit w/some age

Very complex, robust flavored merlot that really delivers on its promise.

Really enjoyed this merlot; has a little bit of bite while still possessing a fuller shape overall. Would like to try again.

91-92 Solid effort. I don't gravitate towards Merlots but write up intrigued me. It is a classy medium to full mod bottle and worth the $20 I will buy again without pause. Drinks 2-3x it's price tag.
