Segal’s hit it out of the park in 2000, delivering a Best Buy Special Reserve Cab, and this Merlot, which isn’t far behind. Cedar, black cherry and herb aromas lead into a supple, richly textured palate loaded with balanced coffee and black cherry flavors. Long and harmonious on the finish. Imported by Royal Wine Corporation. ——J.C.(4/1/2005)—— 89
