Developed, handling its structure and oak very nicely, good integration while still holding onto that deep, plummy merlot fruit.

Fantastic merlot! Barbara outdid herself with this vintage. You tell she added her TLC to this merlot. Can't wait to open her 09 Cabs in a few years. Beautiful nose, smooth, & when the wine hits your mouth, it's like drinking nectar! Another great winery in the Spring Mountain region!

Wow! If the score is about perfection, I have never had a better merlot, even Petrus. Just saying!
