This 2004 Merlot… may help restore the reputation of this grape. Dark ruby-colored, it has a pretty perfume of pain grille, cassis, and black cherry. On the palate, the wine is supple and sweet with a lush texture and fine depth. This nicely balanced effort is drinking well now and should last for another 15 years.

This well-built wine has aromas of sun-dried tomato and burnt caramel; its savory plum and black cherry fruit seems to have been cooked with brown sugar, supported by toasty oak flavors, a mellow, smooth texture and a dusty earth-toned finish.
