Well-structured and focused, with ripe plum, spice and cedar aromas and black cherry and mocha-coffee flavors that take on richness and tannins on the finish. Drink now. 830 cases made. 90 points - Wine Spectator
Winemaker's notes: Our 2004 Merlot shows ripe fruit, good depth and concentration, and overall balance. This big Merlot is wide open with aromas of black plums and nutmeg spice. Careful use of oak contributes sweet toasty notes layered amongst the bright fruit character for accent only. In the mouth, this wine is super lush, round, and mouth-filling. A classic hearty red wine that will complement a wide array of grilled meats.
