* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Uvada is flying under the radar but worthy of your attention at this price-quality ratio. The ’02 Merlot, mainly from Beckstoffer Vineyard X, has been held back longer than most, allowing it to soften and fatten. It’s fully ready now, showing blackberry, cassis, chocolate and vanilla oak flavors that finish dry and firm in ripe, sweet tannins. The 15% Cabernet Sauvignon adds needed structure.

Flashy and flamboyant, this Merlot seduces with scads of toasty oak in keeping with the size of the blackberry, cherry and cocoa fruit. The tannins are soft and sweet, the finish elegant. If it was any softer, it would collapse, but the acids and tannins work.
