90 Points. Gold Medal. Wine Enthusiast. What this 100% Merlot lacks in subtlety, it makes up for in the sheer power of its fruit. It’s rich and spicy in black cherry, milk chocolate, red licorice and oak, after being aged for 20 months in 100% new French barrels. With thick but refined tannins, it’s drinkable now. - S.
