Smooth merlot character, but not overly so- noticeable depth and tannins support plums and depth of flavor. Great offering and one of my favorite blends in a vintage year where many others struggled. Drinking well now.

Nice for ~$20. Oak and spice come through on the front, cherry on the nose, tannins are under control and not overbearing, good finish.

A Napa highlight.

Dark fruits and tannins tightly work together for a long, united, and refined finish (balance is superb, and winemaking talent is clear. Gobs of tannins, but does not have the overly dry feeling oftentimes present in high-tannin wines). This is beautiful wine that will age and improve, but is fantastic now.
