Very nice Merlot with good balance. Ample but not overly fruit tones. A bit more complex than most Merlots. — 8 years ago

I'm trying to acquire a taste for Bordeaux and this particular wine is helping. Aromatically consistent with most Bordeaux's but much smoother and cleaner than other Bordeaux's. This is a bridge between Bordeaux and California Cabs. — 8 years ago

Nice value, bold, and a smooth finish. Less tartness than most Riojas. — 8 years ago

It is so interesting to see how differently the same grape tastes based on its location. We regularly drink Kim Crawford Savignon Blanc which is a traditional New Zealand SB but after trying a fantastic White Bordeaux at a restaurant I had to seek out another to see if the region was a big influence (and it is). It's funny because I'm not a fan of red bordeaux though I really like California CS/Merit blends. — 8 years ago

Classic CA Cab with black cherry and pepper undercurrents. Llight on tanins. Easy to drink, fairly smooth finish — 6 years ago
