A wine with hard to define nose and palate. I noted allspice on the tongue and a long finish. There was licorice on the nose. But many things are going on with the wine. Honestly it feels like it is peaking right at this moment. Loved it so much that my friend and I bought the last 3 bottles in the area.

Rob Newsom does great things with grapes and this 2004 Merlot is an example of that. Bright and cheerful with nice red fruits, slight cherry-like tartness. Medium bodied and very pleasing over all.

What a great Merlot! Great in the mouth, you just want to hold it there and let it slide slowly down just for the lingering taste. Wonderful fruit as it warms to the room and opens. No wimpy Merlot here!

not rating due to only popping and pouring. Should have decanted. A bit tight. Have one bottle left, and will decant this one and report.
