A concentrated and seductive Merlot that’s perfect for folks who like ’em big, ripe and oaky. Mulled boysenberries and blueberry compote flood the nose and mouth, with lush notes of milk chocolate, blackcurrant liqueur and dark coffee spicing up the finish. Round and velvet-textured, with medium tannins. ——L.B.(4/1/2012)—— 90
