Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Soft and Port-like, with raisiny blackberry and chocolate flavors. Could even have some residual sugar. The alcohol level is 15.7%, and you can feel heat in the finish. Drink now with tri-tip beef.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A bit earthy and dry, with rich blackberry, tobacco and cedar flavors and a cherry-chocolate edge. Nice, firm tannins round out the finish. Drink now.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Tasted in late winter, this blend of Cabernet (85%) and Syrah (15%) was fruity and chocolaty, with a pastry sweetness that was a bit simple. But by early summer it had acquired greater depth and balance, and seemed drier and better structured. Shows real charm and finesse. Drink now–2010.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Sharp and jammy, like Lifesaver cherry and blackberry sour candy. Finishes sweet in fruity extract.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Ultrasmooth and luxurious in the mouth, with the fine tannins and complex cherry, blueberry, anise and mocha flavors of a fine red wine, and the finish is dry and lingering. It’s a bit soft and hot, but a lovely Merlot to drink now.
