Plummy, black cherry, some smokiness and acidity. A very nice merlot, decent qpr, quite a dry finish here. Have rated another vintage of this wine closer to a 90, though. Solid. 87-88 pts.

The nose had little hope to it: there seemed to be an over-exhilarated sense of richness, jam, and simplicity. However, delving into it, we found the wine to be nothing of the sort. Dark for a merlot. Its taste, quite agreeable; it's mouth feel, like a satin liquid delving down deep into the back of your throat. Very nice, but lacking the sort of depth that causes one to praise a wine. It's how it goes for merlot. But this was a great merlot, as opposed to so many others that lack even an iota of fun, of precision that the grape can exhibit.

Nice fruit. A bit thin with a short finish.

Sweet cherry on the nose, then a hard back end as per the house style. Probably delicious in two years.
