Score 86/100 · Drink 2025-2032, Neal Martin, Aug 2024
The 2021 Merlot Reserve has a more attractive bouquet than the previous vintage: red cherries, crushed strawberry fruit and violets emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins. The 30% new French oak is perhaps a little too pronounced on the finish so that the wood tannins just smother the fruit profile.
