Smooth and balanced. Soft tannins with muted currant. Very nice Merlot. Medium+ weight. Performs well through all mouth stages, including a soft yet powerful finish. Nice job.

Drink now! Medium body with moderate finish. Aromas of black fruit along with flavors of the same. The tannins and acidity are well balanced and that is what saves this wine. Dark rich color. I, personally, do NOT think this wine will last another 3 years, but what do I know? I am surprised that the wine is "breaking down" this early. I have other CA merlots of this vintage and they hold, but the terroir is more Napa than the "summit" of Sonoma / Napa.

Classic Pride. Deep, rich, black fruit, smooth and full bodied. But lacks the acidic bite that balances all that fruit. Still, very nice wine.
