Score 93/100 · Drink 2025-2035, Erin Brooks, Wine Advocate, Oct 2024
The 2019 Merlot Bennett Valley was matured for 20 months in 23% new French oak. It has pure, inviting scents of black plum, blueberry, aniseed, tobacco, chocolate, roses and mint chocolate. The full-bodied palate is powerfully styled with concentrated, mineral-driven flavors. It’s structured by grainy tannins and bright acidity and has an expressive, floral finish. 200 cases were made.
