As in past vintages, this is half DuBrul and half Meek vineyard fruit. It’s a far cry from what most consumers would think of as Merlot—this is a stiff, tannic, muscular wine, with a deep earthiness that speaks of rich loam and ancient rock. It strikes me as more typical of Malbec. The tannins are firm and dense, and the fruits are black as coal and laced with tar and smoke.——P.G.(12/1/2010)—— 93
