This is a mix of old-vine fruit from the estate vineyard, and it’s a muscular Merlot, with very firm flavors of wild blueberry, plum and currant. The layering of this wine shows excellent winemaking and a delicate touch; nothing is big or overblown, but the flavors are nicely woven together and bring highlights of herb, olive and bark.——P.G.(7/1/2008)—— 89
