The two Merlots are competent, if uninspiring. The 2007 Merlot is more supple and seamless, although it still has some tannin to resolve. Its deep ruby hue is followed by hints of underbrush, sweet mocha, black and red fruits, and dusty, loamy soil notes. I rarely see these wines, but they have been around since the mid-nineties. Barlow’s 50 acres are situated between the towns of Calistoga and St. Helena, and fewer than 2,000 cases are produced each year.Tel. (707) 942-8742

A decent Merlot that shows berry and cola fruit flavors, with a touch of oak and beautiful tannins. It’s a little hot and funky. Not going anywhere, so drink up.——S.H.(8/1/2011)—— 85
