Nice wine right in the sweet spot. Still some beautiful elegant fruit, with mature flavors developing. Tannins are mostly gone however, so I don’t see it improving any further. Enjoy now before the fruit starts to fade.

This is a very pleasing wine. The Merlot flavors are coming on strong and in a good way. The cab Sauvignon and franc bring the structure and the Merlot and petit Verdot give awesome fruit flavors. I do think this is most likely at peak however. Drink more and enjoy the richness of the chocolate flavors.

I am not a big Merlot fan but this is a great wine. It’s the best Washington Merlot that I know of. It has the typical chocolate flavors I do appreciate in Merlot but it also has structure. A bit one dimensional but the fruit is still very young with some nice tannins. This will probably be even better with another 3 years in the bottle.
