Aromas of baked and stewed plums and currants, tomato leaf and eucalyptus rounded out by some leather and mushroom elbowing in on the scene. Decent acid and still fairly deep tannin and finish. Can still use some time, me thinks.

A smoky, brooding merlot that just doesn't quite get there, especially given Cakebread's pedigree. Some dark fruit, stone and vegetal qualities, but they just don't integrate cleanly.

Creamy milk chocolate. Red fruits. Soft ripe tannins. Funk and oak blew off in 45 minutes.

Very impressive merlot. Quite bold and hefty. Well structured and balanced. I bought 4 more bottles.
