Score 94/100 · Drink 2013-2019, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Aug 2009

The 2000 Merlot is one of the leaner wines in this tasting. Here the acidity is a touch high and the wine reveals more of a linear expression in its dark fruit, leather, licorice and spices. The 2000 Merlot is beautifully balanced, especially considering the less than optimal conditions that year, but it understandably lacks the explosive quality that informs Miani's very finest vintages. Pontoni relates that he had higher hopes for the 2000 when it went into bottle.

Score 93/100 · Drink 2005-2016, Daniel Thomases, Wine Advocate, Aug 2004

The 2000 Merlot is warm and powerful in its expression of plums, berry fruit, and chocolate, ample, deep, and concentrated in flavor, long and velvety on the development and finish. Drink: 2005-2016. Importer: Small Vineyards, Seattle, WA; tel. (206) 933-6767
