The 2003 Merlot Three Palms Vineyard (14.5% alcohol) exhibits a more vibrant deep plum/ruby/purple color in addition to abundant aromas of chocolate, espresso roast, black fruits, spice and fudge, and a round, opulent, classic Merlot character. There are some foresty/underbrush notes as well in this complex, full-bodied, fully mature Merlot. This should drink nicely for another 4-5 years. Tel. (888) 354-8885

Reminds me of the ’97, a very ripe but very tannic wine that didn’t offer much early on. The tannins on the ’03 are bigtime astringent, locking down the palate, but oodles of ripely sweet cherry and cedar flavors tease. Best after 2008. ——S.H.(12/1/2006)—— 88
