  Half the bottle saw two hours in the decanter, had muted nose. Bottle pours had violet nose. No sediment. Next bottle will be a pnp. Garnet/purple. Black and blue fruit, vanilla, cocoa. Mouth filling. Very smooth and silky. Supremely balanced with a long finish.

  Completely warranted to get a triple 100 point score. This is majestic 100% Merlot with a deep magenta color, aromatics that ascend from the glass like the phoenix rising. On the nose is fresh blueberries, ripe blackberry, lilacs, and tilled soil after a warm summer rain. Medium + alcohol, long legs. The tannins cited in 2015 by AG as massive & needing time, have smoothed out in 9 years and are integrating into the wine beautifully. Purple flowers, blueberry, purple raspberry, light menthol and sage. 99+

  Crowd favorite on Christmas, though needed a few hours of air to really come alive with balanced characteristics.

  Roberta's Reserve never disappoints and remains at the top of my list of favorite wines. The 2013 may be the best I have enjoyed. The only evidence it is a Merlot comes from its smoothness and early drinkability. The fruit is exceptionally rich dark berries with chocolate notes. The finish is long and memorable.

  So perfect. Violets, lavender, dried tart blackberries , raspberries , baking spices, mocha, tons of well integrated tannins, good acidity, a backbone of cherries…
  
  It has years of life left and I can’t wait to see what the future holds for my other bottles
