Score 93/100 · Drink 2022-2032, Jeb Dunnuck, May 2022
Coming from both the Napa and Sonoma appellations, the 2018 Merlot Vintners Select offers a beautiful, medium-bodied, elegant style as well as copious red and black fruits and some spice and subtle floral notes. I love its balance, and it has classic Merlot juiciness followed by a clean, delicious finish. It's ideal for drinking over the coming decade.

The 2018 Merlot Vintner Select is bold, racy and open-knit. Sweet floral and spice notes lift a core of sweet red berry fruit in this super appealing, mid-weight Merlot from a blend of sites. Red/purplish berry fruit, spice, leather and cedar build into the sumptuous finish.
