PnP, but slow ox in glass for one hour. Slightly sweet mocha aromas with some black cherries and cedar. Round, lush, full-bodied and and clean with red currants and dark cherries on the palate. Some round tannins lead to a surprisingly structured finish. Layered and rich. Several blind tasters thought this a modern styled right bank BDX, a couple others thought it was a Napa Cab. Nearing maturity with 3-5 good years ahead.

Belle texture satinée, grande souplesse et beau fruit pure. Des mures et des bleuets avec du Kirsh et des épices douces. Raffiné et bien équilibré, les tannins sont bien enrobés et la finale super longue est fort veloutée. Excellent.

More a meritage blend with medium complex flavors (but some borderline high alcohol) than a typical Napa Valley merlot. Still some tannins but the oak is receding nicely. This is a winemaker Ted Edward's gift to the wine drinking public.

Creamy nose. Sweet blueberry fruit with hints of an old-school style. Mocha oak notes. Soft and mellow, and likely drinking best now.
