winemaker's notes:

Our wines are aged on their lees for over two years and are bottled without fining or filtration.

critical acclaim:

"This is a stunning Merlot, impossibly rich. Saturated and opaque in color, it tastes fat and flashy, with masses of cherry and blackberry jam, anise, chocolate and Provençal herb flavors. Yet this opulently soft wine has a classic structure, backed up with firm tannins. This is a profound Merlot"

95 Points

Wine Enthusiast

"The 2004 Merlot Paradise Hills Vineyard (1,100 cases) includes a dollop of Cabernet Franc in the blend. It exhibits gorgeous notes of chocolate, espresso, plums, blackberries, and cherries. Full-bodied with terrific intensity and opulence, it makes a dramatic statement about how great Napa Merlot can be. It should drink beautifully for 15 or more years. "

The Wine Advocate

"Deep, complex nose combines plum syrup, violet, tobacco, licorice, minerals and game; there's something quite Bordeaux-like about this. Dry, broad, suave and seamless, with complicating hints of black olive and smoke. This is wonderfully full without being at all heavy. Finishes long and ripe. This will go truffley with bottle aging."

rating (12/26/2010):
This wine shows what a great merlot can be. Seconds out of the bottle, it had incredible nose. I could have sniffed it all night. Drinking, it was full bodied and lush without being overly assertive. One of the great merlots ever.
