Score 89-91/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, May 2004

(blended with 15% cabernet franc) Bright ruby-red. Explosive, pungent aromas of bitter cherry, violet, licorice, spices, pepper and minerals. Sweet, dense and sappy, with nicely concentrated red fruit and spice flavors. Youthfully oaky finish features noteworthy freshness and length.

Score 88-90/100 · Drink 2003-2011, Robert Parker, Dec 2003

The exuberant 2002 Merlot possesses a chocolate, coffee, sweet black cherry, and earth-scented bouquet as well as a spicy, firm, rich style. It should drink well for 7-8 years. Not yet released. Tel. (707) 258-8119; Fax (707) 258-8132
