Description

James Suckling ReviewRated 97One of the most structured, focused and intense merlots in Napa Valley. So laced with super-fine-grained tannins, it's pointed, precise, linear and concentrated. A powerful wine that will age gracefully. Deep in black cherries, red cherries, cocoa, iron and graphite notes. Contains 15% cabernet sauvignon. Drinkable now, but best from 2030. More Critical Acclaim 96 Decanter: Powerful mountain tannins, mulberry, thyme, dark chocolate, black sea salt, forest-floor complexity. A powerful, structured Merlot that remains remarkably approachable—and more than capable of standing shoulder to shoulder with the best in the world. 94 Jeb Dunnuck: Juicy red and black berries, leafy herbs, leather, baking spice; rich, medium-to-full bodied with purity and finesse. This beautifully made Merlot will drink well for 15+ years. Mt. Brave Mt.
