The opaque black/purple-colored 1995 Merlot Oakville (100 cases) possesses an expressive blueberry-scented nose that is a perfect match for its sumptuous personality. The wine exhibits superb richness, medium to full body, a natural texture, with sensual levels of fruit, glycerin, and extract. It is a full-bodied, seamlessly-styled Merlot that should drink well for a decade. This exquisite wine merits the attention of serious wine drinkers.Who are these people? As of August, 1997, this winery ranks as the discovery of the year. All of the wines reviewed in this segment, unfiltered and unfined, are made in limited quantities of 100-200 case lots, but geez, what amazing concentration, character, and potential these offerings from two guys named Behrens and Hitchcock offer.
