30 minute decant. Dark ruby red color. Great aromas of red berries, blueberry, with earthy oak notes. Lush medium bodied palate has raspberry and blueberry, mocha, and spice. Tannins are fine and velvety. There is a touch of acid and a wonderful finish. Drinking well!

Calming down and lightening up. More red fruit now than the full black of the new release, and some secondary development. Should cellar well for the next five years.

Wonderful rich blend of deep rich fruit and velvet texture with a integrated peppery finish. Soulful. This is probably the best merlot I've ever tasted.

This is SERIOUS merlot. Dark, concentrated blue and black fruit, dark chocolate, coffee, and chewy, big tannins. Would change a lot of minds about this grape.

Boysenberry, plum and blueberry notes, some secondary development. Hefty body, long finish. Excellent.

Still young, but this Merlot delivers rich, dark, kirsch berry fruit. As lusty as it is now, the future holds even greater promise.
