Score 93/100 · Drink 2017-2021, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, May 2017

Yet another surprise, the 1998 Merlot Hudson Vineyards is a drop-dead gorgeous beauty. Silky, layered and exceptionally beautiful, the 1998 exudes class. Exotic aromatics, layers of dark fruit and fine tannins are some of the signatures. Today, at nearly twenty years of age, the 1998 is fabulous. This is another wine that speaks to balance above all else. Wow!

Lively and fresh on the nose, this debut offering from John Kongsgaard and Fritz Hatton (ex Christie's) is a very well made wine with sandy tannins that is wonderfully refreshing on the palate. (JR)
