Score 90/100 · Drink 2002-2012, Robert Parker, Aug 2002

The dense purple-colored, rich 2000 Merlot Las Amigas Vineyard, a 100% Merlot cuvee, exhibits crisp acidity, and excellent notes of black cherry liqueur intermixed with chocolate, herbs, minerals, and subtle oak. The wine is elegant yet authoritatively flavored. It will drink well for 8-10 years. Tel. 707-963-1774; Fax 707-963-8206

Bright saturated medium ruby. Pungent, pure aromas of blackberry, black raspberry, minerals and mint. Denser and sweeter than the Alder Springs merlot, with a note of bitter chocolate. Fat but precise. A ripe, cleanly made midweight with a bit more polish than the 1999 version.
