The 2008 Merlot Crosara reveals marvelous concentration and richness in a full-throttle, opulent style. This is so full of unbridled energy I wonder if it is being released far too early. The new French oak remains prominent at this stage, but it will integrate over time. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2028.
