The Dow Jones Midrange Merlot Index Good/Very Good: Still quite young, with intensity, good minerals and serious tastes that require food. Better in a couple of years. The Wall Street Journal March 21, 2008 Supple, ripe blackberry and black cherry accompanied by hints of toasted oak and vanilla that fill the mount with a rich mid-palate of soft tannins and a long, round finish.

Very smooth, high-end merlot. Especially good with meat or hearty food.
