Tasting Notes

WE93

A brilliant Merlot, showing the intense complexity of its mountain terroir. There's a briary wildness to the blackberry and cassis liqueur flavors that's molten in concentration. Sweet, toasty oak provides additional richness. Very fine, but needs time. Give it 5–6 years to mellow. Cellar Selection.

RP92

The 2009 Merlot is intense, juicy and beautifully balanced. A burst of dark, juicy fruit is followed by mint, pine, spices and licorice as the flavors build to the finish. Clean layers of minerality and sweet notes from the new French oak frame the exceptionally polished finish. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2024.
