Score 92/100 · Drink 2024-2031, Eric Guido, Vinous, Oct 2023

Sweet sage and mint give way to balsamic-tinged black cherries as the 2020 Merlot Desiderio opens in the glass. This flows across the palate with ease, medium in weight and supple. The saline-tinged acidity guides the core of tart red and blue fruits. Graphite notes mix with savory herbs and spice as the 2020 finishes with admirable length and a gentle coating of fine tannins.

Score 92/100 · Drink 2026-2032, Eric Guido, Vinous

A burst of cherry and plum sauce is complemented by sweet herb and autumnal spice nuances as the 2020 Desiderio emerges from the glass. It's sleek and cool-toned in feel, with depths of ripe wild berry fruits and a touch of mocha riding a stream of fresh acidity. The 2020 leaves hints of sage and a bitter tinge in the mouth, tapering off with edgy tannins and a bump of residual acidity that maintains freshness.
