| Review: |
"The 2019 Merlot is a real powerhouse. Rich dark fruit, leather, tobacco, grilled herbs and chocolate are dialed up. This extroverted, dense Merlot is going to need at least a decade to come into its own. Today, it is almost shockingly concentrated. Readers will find a Merlot that is mostly an expression of place rather than of variety. I loved it." |
