Score 90/100 · Drink 2020-2030, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Dec 2018

The 2016 Merlot is laced with generous black plum, chocolate, espresso, leather and spice flavors. Rich and potent, the Merlot offers a good bit of immediacy. Although not exactly subtle, the 2016 is pleasing and will drink well for at least a handful of years.

Composed of 84% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon and 1% Petit Verdot all coming from Napa Valley, the 2016 Merlot features warm red and black plums, freshly crushed blackberries and mulberries with nuances of spice cake, tobacco leaf, star anise and vanilla pod. The medium-bodied palate offers fresh black berries and plum flavors with a lovely spicy undercurrent and soft texture, finishing with great freshness and purity. 4404 cases were made.
