2000 Columbia Valley Merlot

"This wine is plump, polished and nicely focused to show off its core of black cherry and currant flavors, picking up a wave of oak spiciness as the flavors linger."

2004 Du Brul Vineyard Reserve: Wine Advocate

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Thick and dense on the palate, with gobs of flavor, this full bodied effort demands 6-8 years of cellaring and should drink well through 2040.
