Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Deep ruby color. Aromas of sweet strawberry jam, blackberry, black cherry, and blueberry fruits; it has a flinty mineral component and some vanilla. The core of the wine is of sweet blackberry fruit with custard and vanilla; round, lush tannins are well integrated.

Professional Ratings

  • 94
    Graceful, delicious, complex and drinkable. Super-oaky, with vanilla, toast and wood spice, but the massive cherry and blackberry fruit easily absorbs it. The tannins are rich and ripe, forming a dusty coating that carries sweetness through the finish. Beautiful, extraordinary Napa Merlot.
  • 94
    The 2001 Merlot Estate reveals similar coffee bean, red and black currant characteristics intermixed with notions of licorice, herbs and underbrush. Richer and slightly fuller-bodied than the regular Napa cuvee, it exhibits a more saturated plum/purple color, lots of dark fruits and a lush, full-bodied mouthfeel.
  • 91
    A rich and deftly balanced yet muscular red, with layers of complex currant, spice, wild berry and plum fruit that's focused and pure. Shows off a nice touch of cedary-vanilla oak, which adds a nice flavor dimension and the tannins add structure. Finishes with complexity and fine length.
