The best thing about this wonderful Merlot is balance. The winemaker has modulated the blackberry and plum fruit with earthier notes that suggest balsamic, soy-splashed sauteed beef, Portobello mushrooms and coffee. The grippy tannins and acids add a welcome touch of bitterness to the finish. With charm in addition to complexity, this Merlot will drink well for five years.——S.H.(11/1/2007)—— 91

Superior viticulture and winemaking has pulled this Merlot from the fire of a hot vintage and allowed it to be subtle and elegant. Although it’s powerful upfront in cherry, chocolate, coffee and violet flavors, it’s a balanced wine, with just enough Cab added to give it extra depth.——S.H.(6/1/2007)—— 90
