Score 92/100 · Drink 2015-2024, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Dec 2014

Plumpjack's 2012 Merlot is round, juicy and succulent. Dark red stone fruits, smoke, spices and new leather are all laced together in a striking, precocious wine to enjoy now and over the next few years. Dollops of Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon round out the blend.

Score 92/100 · Drink 2014-2024, Robert Parker, Oct 2014

The delicious, plump, fleshy 2012 Merlot has a dense ruby/purple color, plenty of big exuberant berry fruit, full-bodied opulence and excellent purity and depth. This is serious Merlot that even Cabernet lovers will get excited about. Drink it over the next decade or more.

Score 90-92/100 · Drink 2014-2024, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Nov 2013

The 2012 Merlot is radiant, expressive and beautifully balanced. Mocha, plum, spice, licorice and tobacco notes all flesh out in a supple, inviting Merlot with tons of near and medium-term appeal.
