Score 88/100 · Drink 2000-2008, Robert Parker, Dec 2000
The dark ruby/purple-colored 1998 Merlot (a blend of 64% Napa and 36% Sonoma fruit) exhibits copious quantities of toasty new oak in the bouquet in addition to deep, chewy, blackberry and cherry aromas. There is excellent richness, medium to full body, adequate acidity, and a forward appeal. Drink it over the next 7-8 years. Tel. (707) 963-4949; Fax (707) 963-6039
