Score 88/100 · Drink 2024-2030, Jeb Dunnuck, Jul 2024

Always a good value, the 2021 Merlot Grand Estates is juicy and up-front, with pretty cherry and currant fruits as well some spicy herb nuances. Easygoing, medium-bodied, and balanced, with a good finish, it would be a rock-solid house red for drinking over the coming 4-6 years.

Score 84/100 · Drink 2023-2024, Eric Guido, Vinous, Jan 2024

Soft and round, the 2021 Merlot Grand Estates is understated, showing modest hints of ripe blueberry, rose and spice. This finishes a bit sticky, with an herbal tinge.
