Score 95/100 · Drink 2025-2035, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Nov 2025

The 2015 Merlot Hudson Vineyards is still a very young wine. Blackberry, gravel, incense, licorice, spice, chocolate, tobacco and scorched earth stain the palate. This huge, potent Merlot packs a pretty serious punch. It will drink well for at least another decade. Impressive.

Score 94/100 · Drink 2018-2025, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Jan 2018

The 2015 Merlot Hudson Vineyards is plump, juicy and absolutely delicious. Dark cherry, raspberry jam, mocha and sweet spice all flesh out in the glass, but it is the wine's freshness and overall vivacity that stand out most. An impeccably balanced wine, the 2015 will drink well for another 10-15 years, maybe more.

The 2015 Merlot Hudson Vineyards (100% Merlot) is a ripe, plump, yet one-dimensional effort that has plenty of darker fruits, building minerality, medium-bodied richness and present tannin. It's slightly hollow on the mid-palate, yet has plenty of charm and should drink nicely for a decade.
