  Last of the ‘14 in my ‘09-‘19 vertical 😢. Brick Ruby in color. Initial nose at PnP of red fruits, plum, Asian spices, orange peel, and toasty vanilla. Smooth on entry with a touch of heat. A decent amount of acidity this vintage compared to shoulder vintages of ‘13 & ‘15. Some of my favorite Merlot out of Napa!

  Blueberries with a touch of chocolate, tannins got easy after 30 min. Full-bodied & smooth. Drink now or within 2 years.

  First time to have this wine. Very enjoyable and will definitely try more. My regret is that this bottle was a gift and it was the ONLY bottle in my cellar (will change that). I will work towards a vertical of this starting with a younger vintage and moving towards something more recent. In a little depth this time.

  Immediate PNP notes. Black cherry tonight up front and at mid palette so well balanced and with lively acidity. Frankly nearly one of the great Merlot's I have had. This is mouth coating and velvety. Very un-merlot like (at least some Merlot's). Worth finding !!

  Ripe fruit with cherry Coke and spice. Soft tannins. Fantastic with grilled bone-in pork chops.
