January 12, 2021 - The overt fruit has been replaced by nice black tea and mineral notes dominant through out. Not an "in your face" wine, but certainly a great expression of the varietal, especially at its price point.

November 25, 2010 - Dark color. Black cherry, very dark chocoloate, spice through out. Another excellent Merlot from Rick, first I have had of this vintage.

October 24, 2010 - Very dark, right to the rim, looking younger than its five years. Beautiful nose of dark cherry, plum and spice. On the palate there is a thick, viscous mouthfeel with dusty tannins. Coffee, spicecak, mocha and dark cherries come through almost with a blast. This is a cab lovers merlot. It is a very big wine, but it is in proportion. Has almost a Trotanoy-like masculinity to it. This is the best Woodward Canyon merlot I've tasted since the 98. This is just begining to be ready to drink but I think time will only improve its score. I could easily see this wine going strong at age 15.
