Score 89/100 · Drink 2002-2017, Robert Parker, Jun 2002

The 1999 Merlot Estate displays an impressively saturated ruby/purple color, outstanding concentration as well as purity, medium to full body, and sweet, but noticeable tannin. The wine is structured and pure. This impressive Merlot will drink well for 12-15 years. Tel. (707) 963-7108

Score 90/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous

Bright medium ruby. Aromas of black raspberry, blackberry, cassis, violet, loam, nuts and shoe polish. Rich, pliant and chewy, with sweet, lively flavors of black raspberry, dark chocolate and minerals. Finishes with ripe, sweet tannins, very good length and some late notes of sweet oak.
