Here’s a solid Merlot for early drinking. Soft and spicy, it shows flavors of cherries and red currants, with a distinct, briny note of corned beef.

Seems very well made, with impressive flavors of blackberries and black currants, touched with smoky oak, and encased in firm tannins. Texture and balance are everything in these Cabs, and this wine is not lacking in either. The tannic astringency strongly suggests midterm aging, through 2013, at least.

Easily the best Merlot from Livermore Valley in memory, which is not a back-handed compliment. It’s a bone dry, tannic wine stuffed with complex, interesting fruit, currant, herb, tobacco and cedar flavors. Really very fine, and drinkable now despite the tannins. Its longterm future is controversial, though, so open over the next 3 years.

Bone dry, with crisp, mouth-cleansing acidity and flavors of citrus fruits, minerals and vanilla. There’s a touch of gooseberry and muscat. Turns almost sour toward the finish, but it’s zesty and alive.

Made in a New World-style of ultraripeness, this 100% Merlot has pastry-filling flavors of blackberries, cherries, raspberries, chocolate and figs. It’s a little soft, unidimensional and sweet.
