9.0

A really satisfying wine, heavy on the merlot. The key for these ripe merlot-based CA wines is some structure and discernable second-tier flavors behind the overwhelming dark fruit and alcohol. This one delivers - blueberries on the nose initially, with chocolate cake, earth, and cinnamon. Had sampled the 2018 last year; this far better. — 8 days ago

Maybe an off night, but I found this disappointing. A too-sweet note when first opened, dissipates but I didn't think this ever found the right balance. Too smooth, no precise flavors. — 22 days ago
