Score 86/100 · Drink 2021-2027, Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW, Wine Advocate, Mar 2021
Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, the 2018 Merlot opens with notes of dried Mediterranean herbs, tar and damp soil over a core of stewed plums and boysenberries. The medium-bodied palate is simple and juicy with a light chewiness of tannins and soft acidity, finishing with an herbal lift.
