97 points - James Suckling:
A very polished merlot with velvety tannins that are medium in density and very fine and long. Medium to full body. Juicy fruit with berry and green-olive character and a creamy-textured finish. Plenty of energy in the tannins.
 
Winemaker Notes
Crafted from both mountain and valley floor vineyards, this alluring wine embodies the rich diversity of great Napa Valley Merlot. From its velvety tannins and lively acidity to luxurious layers of plum, candied black cherry, red licorice and sweet baking spices this gracefully structured Merlot glides to a lush, lingering finish.
