An awesome Merlot, with a dark color layers of blackberry, currants with a lightly toast oak intensity. The flavors pick up momentum showing blackberry, cherry, sage and a hint of creamy mocha. There is an excellent balance, depth and range of flavors in the finish. Enjoy now through 2010.

Its temperate tannins lend a bit of structural spine without precluding drinking now, yet it will keep comfortably for several years." -Rated 87, Connoisseur's Guide to California Wines
