Score 86/100 · Drink 2000-2004, Robert Parker, Dec 2000
The 1998 Merlot (aged 18 months in small oak prior to bottling) exhibits a spicy, black cherry-scented nose infused with mocha and wood. Medium-bodied, with moderate extract, sweet fruit on the attack, and a short, lightly tannic finish, it should be consumed over the next 3-4 years. Tel. (707) 963-9454; Fax (707) 963-7035
