Sadly, because of Sideways, Merlot has gotten an unjustified bad rap. This is fabulous wine. It is hard to think it is from East Paso. A tribute to the viticulture. I buy this wine in every vintage.

As good a merlot as you will get. I would put this wine in blind tasting against the best of Napa and Walla Walla and I believe it would compete and have the best QPR.

People may think I am crazy, but this is some of the best CA merlot I have ever had.

This is a really fine example of what East Paso BDX grapes can produce. This merlot is as good as any Napa or Sonoma bottle that I have had.

Tremendous body for a Merlot. Much richer than you would expect. Way fuller than many a Napa Merlot that I have enjoyed recently.
