Lovely wine that I found closer to Steve Tanzer's 91 than Harvey Steiman's 85. Had from a 375 at a restaurant and it was quite nice. Lite in color for a merlot but quite full of flavor and character. Paired it with Filet Mignon and it was well paired. Would buy again.

On the nose there's cedar, caramel, dark raspberries & cassis ~ On the palate it's medium + bodied with grippy, persistent tannins & flavors of black cherry, green pepper, spices, dark chocolate & leather ~ Great balance & length

Really like the oak under tones. 89 at least.

Good but not especially complex. It got dumb and flabby as time went on. Enjoyed it more upon opening than 5 hours later.

A bit of a fruit bomb but a pleasant wine nonetheless.
