Score 88/100 · Drink 2018-2023, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Jan 2018

Barnett's 2015 Merlot is a bold, racy wine. Espresso, leather and exotic spice notes make a strong opening statement. The 2015 is attractive, but it also shows a slightly roasted quality. Dollops of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc round out the blend in this flavorful Merlot. Drink it over the next few years.

Score 89/100 · Drink 2017-2029, Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW, Wine Advocate, Dec 2017

Composed of 85% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Cabernet Franc, the 2015 Merlot is deep garnet-purple in color with a warm blackberries and stewed plums nose plus hints of spice box and earth. The medium to full-bodied palate is soft, spicy and uncomplicated.
