2004 Mer lot

This wine reminds me why merlot has achieved such popularity in this country: It's delicious, big, pure forward and irresistible. it Leads with aromas that recall ripe cherries macerating in brown sugar; it;s juicy and generous, flavorful without being sweet, supported by rich oak. Delicious now, with Steak. (1372 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.
