Score 89/100 · Jeb Dunnuck, Mar 2022
Lots of black cherries, chocolate, and earthy, herbal notes emerge from the 2019 Merlot, a medium-bodied, delicious, easygoing Merlot all from the Spring Mountain District. I found these wines to be mostly fruit-forward and simple, although certainly enjoyable.

The 2019 Merlot is plush, voluptuous and inviting. Succulent dark cherry, plum, chocolate, licorice, spice and leather are all front and center in this mid-weight, supple Merlot from Barnett.

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2019 Merlot gives up seductive scents of plum pudding, fruitcake and boysenberries with touches of chocolate mint and star anise. Full-bodied, rich, soft and plush, it has lots of spicy nuances and a long, fragrant finish.
