The nose is all black fruit and some cinnamon spice. Next up is a palate of cassis, plum and cherry, while the finish is round and buttery. Taken as a whole the wine is fairly focused, with an easygoing character and nothing too out of whack.——M.S.(7/1/2003)—— 85

Herb, black-pepper and wheat aromas lead to black-plum and spicy oak flavors in the mouth. Some dusty tannins give this Merlot nice texture; finsihes with decent length and black plum and oak-derived flavors. ——D.T.(7/1/2002)—— 85
