Jay Miller - Wine Advocate
The 2008 Merlot (100%) spent 15 months in a mix of
new and used French oak. It exhibits an aromatic array of smoke,
spice box, violets, black cherry, and black raspberry. Elegant on
the palate with excellent volume, concentrated, spicy flavors, and
a hint of minerality, it has enough structure to evolve for 2-3
years and will offer a drinking window extending from '13 to '22
if not longer. |
