* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
This well-crafted Merlot has pleasant flavors of plums, blackberries and coffee that are wrapped in smooth tannins. It is very dry, and feels round and supple in the mouth. There are some less ripe herbal flavors that limit ageability, but it’s a good table wine.

Made very much in the modern cult style, this is an enormously rich, soft, immediately delicious wine, with a milk chocolate edge to the blackberry, cherry and new oak flavors. It’s not an ager; drink now.

Softer and gentler than a Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine, from one of the best but least known of Napa’s mountain appellations, offers a wealth of oak-influenced cherry flavors. It finishes dry and spicy and complex.

Soft and direct, this Merlot has cooked or jellied flavors of raspberries, cherries, blackberries and milk chocolate. Finishes a little sweet in toasty, new oak vanilla. Drink now.

A huge, extracted wine, with massive fruit and berry flavors that flood the palate. Framed in thick but soft tannins, it’s opulent in the mouth, but a stinging bite of youthful acidity almost demands aging through 2006.

Blackberry, black cherry, violets, pepper, espresso, chocolate, and an array of oriental spices are wrapped in a lush, velvety texture. Despite the massive fruit, the wine is dry, and the tannins are a wonder.

Smooth and velvety drinking, and a very good food wine for its modulated berry and herb flavors and firm acids. This is a wine that does not overwhelm with size, but it is elegant and balanced and shows its pedigree well.

* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Cherry, berry and herb flavors are buried inside bigtime tannins that numb the palate, in this dry, smoothly textured wine. It’s questionable whether the wine has enough stuffing for the cellar.
