July 3, 2016 - Perfectly juicy CA merlot. Fruit still vibrant, oak has mellowed enough to be present but not dominant. 89-90

June 12, 2012 - showing its age so I need to drink the last couple in the cellar.
Nose: white flowers, forest floor, closed
Palate: slightly out of balance with more tannin than fruit up front, slightly hot on the finish -
