點(diǎn)擊次數(shù)：6006

The brilliant 2003 Merlot Reserve Mailbox Vineyard (100% estate Merlot) exhibits superb fruit, purity, texture, and depth as well as loads of sweet melted licorice interwoven with notions of espresso roast, cherry liqueur, white chocolate, and subtle wood. Medium to full-bodied, pure, and elegant, it will age effortlessly for 10-15 years. Tel. (707) 963-9177; Fax (707) 963-8209

A mountain wine, too tannic for early drinking, as it shuts down the palate with dry astringency. But it’s all there for aging. With a rich heart of blackberry and cherry fruit, the wine should come into its own after 2009. ——S.H.(12/31/2006)—— 91
