Good price for such a lush, likeable Merlot. It’s soft and rich in cherries, red currants and licorice. This is easly the best Sebastiani Merlot in many years.——S.H.(3/1/2012)—— 91

Here’s a polished young Merlot that’s sophisticated enough to accompany a fine meal, yet doesn’t selfishly demand all the attention to itself. It’s very dry, smoothly tannic and crisp, with herb-infused blackberry and cherry flavors. Will take some age, and should be terrific with roast pork.——S.H.(5/1/2008)—— 90
