($78) Ruby-red. Wild, meaty aromas of black raspberry, licorice, earth, tar, smoke and nutty oak. Quite aromatic in the mouth, with flavors of dark berries and leather given shape by firm acidity. Characterful wine, if rather sauvage Finishes a bit youthfully hard-edged, with notes of leather and meat.

The full-bodied 2001 Merlot Three Palms Vineyard's opaque ruby/purple hue is followed by a stunning bouquet of sweet kirsch, plum liqueur, blueberries, spring flowers and roasted coffee. Revealing superb richness, impressive purity and a multidimensional mouthfeel, this stunning Merlot can be enjoyed over the next 10-15+ years.

A big, dark-colored mouthful of wine, with a mix of racy, earthy, leathery scents, but also a generous core of spicy currant, mineral, cedar and herb. It finishes with a rich, mouthcoating aftertaste and a touch of mocha.
