Winemaker Notes
A burgundy shade of red commence this wine. Aromas of black plum and black cherry combine with graphite, milk chocolate, and black pepper with a subtle thread of vanilla from the toasted oak. This is a generous merlot with nice freshness on the palate show casing juicy blackberry and toasted oak. There is a cocoa powder texture with smooth tannins and a long finish.
Blend: 88% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, 1% Cabernet Franc, 1% Petit Verdot
Critical Acclaim
JS 94
James Suckling
This is always an excellent merlot with blackberry, chocolate and hazelnut character. It’s full and tight with balance and freshness. Shows verve and brightness.

Including 10% Cabernet Sauvignon and small amounts of other varieties, the 2018 Merlot Rutherford Estate Vineyard reveals a deep purple hue to go with impressive purity in its cassis and mulberry fruits as well as notes of chocolate, cedary herbs, and tobacco. It shows the vintage's pure, elegant style yet has terrific concentration, ripe tannins, a good spine of acidity, and a great finish.
WS 90
Wine Spectator
Lithe and juicy, with notes of hot stone to the dried raspberry and cherry pastry flavors. The well-spiced finish shows a minerally verve.

Chocolately rich nose, with cassis, mulberry, vanilla spice, toast. Plush palate, with velvety tannins and lots of concentrated fruit. Powerful, full-bodied style. Blend : 88% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, 1% Cabernet Franc
