This wine was outstanding. Perhaps the best bottle of California merlot that I have ever had. From the second I pulled the cork you could tell this wine was going to be good. Put it in a decanter for 40 minutes. For a wine that is 14 years young the fruit was wonderful with a mix of spice. All in all a really nice wine. I would imagine that this wine will easily last another 3 to 4 years before it starts to fade away.

Très surprenant pour un merlot de plus de 20 ans. Encore beaucoup de corps. Sur les fruits noirs. Tannins ronds, se boit très bien.

Tangy. Dark fruit body with solid Lewis cab characteristics in the background.

Not a much body or fruit as the 2000-2001
