Score 90/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, May 2005

Medium ruby-red. Cool aromas of dark berries, mint and spices. Rich and dense but cool, with lively flavors of berries and flowers complicated by coffee and chocolatey oak. Finishes with broad, ripe tannins and very good length. The caramel note on the finish here would nicely complement short ribs.

Score 90/100 · Drink 2005-2012, Robert Parker, Feb 2005

The 2002 Merlot (24,000 cases) possesses a beautiful dense plum/purple color as well as a sweet, rich nose of plums, black currants, and smoke. This sexy Merlot exhibits loads of concentrated, chewy fruit as well as abundant glycerin. Drink this gorgeous effort now and over the next 5-7 years. Tel. (707) 963-7108
