"The 2002 Merlot (24,000 cases) possesses a beautiful dense plum/purple color as well as a sweet, rich nose of plums, black currants, and smoke. This sexy Merlot exhibits loads of concentrated, chewy fruit as well as abundant glycerin. Drink this gorgeous effort now and over the next 5-7 years." - Rated 90, Robert Parker "Intense, with firm tannins and lively acidity, this concentrated young wine is packed with currant, black cherry and blackberry flavors and it also shows lots of cedary oak. Needs time to round out a few sharp edges, but most of the ingredients are in the right proportion. Best from 2006 through 2011. 24,000 cases made. –JL" - Rated 89, Wine Spectator |
