New York Cork Report
-
By Lenn Thompson
(Grapes of Roth Merlot) Deeply colored a rich garnet-purple, this wine's nose is intense and shows great nuance and depth. The fruit aromas move from dark cherry to black raspberry to blueberry and back. There is also a distinct dried cherry note and toasty oak character here. The toasty edge of the nose is very different on the palate, taking center stage. The 21 months this wine spent in barrel is much more apparent, almost overwhelming at this stage in the wine's development. Dried cherry, fig and dusty cocoa flavors emerge when the wine is allowed to breath over night and the tannins are well integrated, but overall, I'm left wanting a bit more fruit and perhaps a bit less oak.
4/8/2009, (See more on New York Cork Report...) 3 out of 5 stars

Crimson red. Great nose of mature cherry and earth. Palate is lacking body on the front and mid palate. Great finish ironically. A bit too much oak for me as well. Not bad at all, but not worth the price of admission either.
