Really impressive for its Napa style of big, rich merlot. CLearly not a Bordeaux! Dark, velvety with milk chocolate note. Very integrated and balanced on day 2 (actually was an oak monster on day 1 and not drinkable). Rating based on 2nd day. Nice nose of fruit and vanilla. Hedonistic. More points if it had a longer finish.

Cherries galore! Deep vanilla and very smooth notes. Very, very sweet. High tannins. I thought that this wine would have past it's age, but it hasn't.
