From magnum. Still tasting very young - noticeable but not obtrusive tannins, full bodied and concentrated, and delicious fruit that’s mostly on the dark side - perhaps from cabernet blended in. Has many years of life left, especially in magnum format.

rich deep red color, bright ripe cherry on the nose with some oak spice, black pepper, on the palate a great ripe blackberrry and cherry core, cuddly, genteel spice, still showing a bit of firm oak leading into a long classic finish, in a good place and an ideal pairing for a hearty steak.
***+, ready to drink

Chocolate cover cherries with cassis, underbrush, graphite and tilled soil. Amazing depth and texture. Layers upon layer of goodness at age ten. Balanced and defined. Aromatically stimulating and thought provoking. This is my favorite Merlot from the valley. Good juice with five years of drinking pleasure in its future. Great juice.

Good now. May yet improve. Many years left, but certainly drinkable now.
