Beautiful plum ruby color with a lighter almost orange rim on it.
The nose is pretty and fragrant. Inky and acetone to start on the nose leads to wild berries with mocha and coffee dusted almonds. The tannins are grippy as hell, fighting you as you swallow. I say the finish drops off too quickly for it to get a higher score, but it has tremendous potential. — 9 years ago
One of the best Merlots I've had in a long time — 10 years ago
Sooooo much happening on the nose here walnut, blood orange marmalade, creme caramel, 400 year old oak sideboard that's recently had a beeswax polish 😉 baked banana, old oak barrel cellar, spiced pineapple, cinnamon dusted apricot pastry, peaches in cream. In the mouth the first shot is pretty full on alcoholic hotness but as the mid palate rolls over the crest of the hill a huge intensity of dried fruit sweeps through your palate with a huge freshness of spicy tropical fruits then on the finish the nutty notes come through, caramel drizzled over walnuts, white truffle oil. Gorgeous! — 10 years ago

Smells like a giant chard but not over the top on the palate. 30% malo, all barrel ferment, good acid — 10 years ago
This is like candied velvet sex. Combines the best part of an after work cocktail with a glass of ruby port. Maybe not the best with a meal, but on its own after or instead of dinner it is dynamite. Here's hoping the boys at DV start making more cases. — 10 years ago

2014 vintage is thick, mouth saturating and unctuous, intense raspberry and peppered meat, followed by subtle (or somewhat smothered) vanilla notes. Fantastic tannic grip as well. This is a bad ass Grenache, and sadly, we are not making more (we are blending it into our Squirrel Tooth Alice now). — 8 years ago
