Only 100 cases of the dark ruby-colored 1999 Merlot Seven Hills Vineyard were produced. It reveals black fruit and roasted herb aromas. Medium to full-bodied, foursquare, and firm, this is a robust, muscular, and extracted wine whose score would have been higher if it had been less dry and tannic. Anticipated maturity: 2004-2010.
