High intensity wine with lovely plum and berry flavors, layers of minerality, mocha, and spice. Terrific complex palate with long finish for a merlot. Will be looking for more. Recommend at least a 2-hour decanting.

Fantastic Merlo from Beringer. Great complexity, multiple layers of flavors. What a delight it is! It is fruit forward which is typical to Merlot and this one is special as we ended up tasting this during the private tasting at the winery. In mid-palate you get notes of berries, and vanilla. Ends with supple tannins (for Merlot) but it is different and great!

Rich blueberry and cherry flavors give way to cocoa, hints of coffee, mineral and spices. Opened up remarkably after decanting a few hours. Smooth and bold without being overpowering. Excellent wine that will get even better with time.

stunning nose, and continues to be one of the better Merlots on the market; but agree with previous comments that this is very green and needs cellar time... WS93+ seems about right when it hits its stride in a few years

Deep red, medium body. Lots of dark fruits. Very smooth. High alcohol not noticeable.

Really way to early to drink this one. Needs another two years for my palate
