Always a great merlot and despite being slightly more restrained from their norm, this particular vintage is one of my favorites. Bright and light, big flavors of cherries and raspberries, some Oak and a really nice minerality that I haven’t noticed in prior vintages.

Easily one of the best merlots coming out of Napa. Interestingly enough, I think the ‘11 vintage probably benefitted this wine as it has gorgeous restraint. Black cherry, cassis, little bit of blueberry, toasted oak. Needed almost 2hrs in the decanter to really strut its stuff.

Had it with braised goat. Good wine but not worth $70.

Bright, Cherry, raspberry, hint of oak, should probably ideally go another 3-5 years before opening. Well balanced, and lighter-bodied than expecting. Really surprised to see 14.8% ABV

Bold "mountain" Merlot (15% vol), with a hint of Cabernet Sauvignon. This was good but I don't really understand why this wine is so highly rated. Might be the vintage.
