  Very pleasant floral wine - that did well paired with a steak dinner. Maybe a tad bit sweeter than a typical wine, but very drinkable and enjoyable. It may do better in a few years, but it's a great table wine right now.

  Ordered a glass at a restaurant. 94% Merlot, 5% Petite Sirah and 1% Malbec. Crimson color. Not overly tannic with deep red fruit, wet earth and licorice notes. Medium to full bodied. 90 points.

  A classic Merlot IMO, the King of all grapes is on full display here.
  No harsh edges front to back.
  2nd btl and it’s consistent.
  Drink now thru 2028…with decant.
  Rebuy

  Pretty much in line with what's noted here. Very smooth, good concentration, nothing much to say against it other than it could have used some Cabernet Sauvignon to muscle it up a notch. With gridle NY strips (cooking time 5 minutes - yummy). $30.59 at King Soopers with the 6 bottle 10 percent discount. Not sure I'll get again.

  Eye: Deep red to a watery cherry
  
  Nose: Oak, cherry, dark fruit. Hint of cacao powder and coconut shavings.
  
  Palate: Red fruit, touch of saline, touch of soy. Lots of wood spice. Some coconut, cacao, and vanilla. Rustic tannins, pleasant acidity. Little bit of red meat and prunes.
  
  Finish: Medium length, lots of cherry and cacao powder.
