(2004 Vintage) "The spicy 2004 Merlot (89% Merlot and 11% Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec), an unusual example of this varietal, exhibits a coffee, chocolate, toffee, and Allspice-scented bouquet, plenty of berry fruit, and a fresh, medium-bodied, seductive personality. Drink it over the next 5-6 years."
