  WINE & SPIRITS TOP 100, SAN FRANCISCO (San Francisco, Ca.): Nose of black cherry, milk chocolate, allspice, and earth, same on the palate, big body, very tasty, rich fruit, lovely fruit, mouth filling fruit, needs three years to peak, fairly fruit forward, and a lovely, long finish.

  Wow, this is drinking great. Nose of mulberry and Christmas spices. Dark fruits, dark cherry, dark chocolate, with a clean, mineral finish.

  Opened in 2021. Amazing fragrance and taste; great Merlot. Medium viscosity, strong graphite, strong sweet cherry fragrance. Medium sweet, full body, medium tannins, medium acidity, a bit buttery. Red fruit, refreshing finish. Slightly worse than the Three Palms of same vintage.
