Wine & Spirits, October 2000

Review Score

92

2004 Merlot

Over the last 12 months, Wine & Spirits tasted 269 American Merlots.

Twelve Merlot's received the strongest praise from our critics.

Irresistably big, pure and forward. It's cherry flavor rich without being sweet, this is delicious now with steak (1375 Cases) 

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.
