Score 84-86/100 · Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW, Wine Advocate, Nov 2019
A barrel sample, the 2018 Merlot is very deep purple-black colored with a nose of cedar, baked plums, blackberry compote, espresso and dried herbs. The palate is medium to full-bodied, firm, chewy and bitter, with an herbal streak and a hard finish.
