ROBERT PARKER'S WINE ADVOCATE 90-92 POINTS - "The 2010 Merlot possesses a darker flavor profile than the 2009, as well as more textural depth and sheer profile. Black cherries, menthol, licorice and spices are just some of the notes that take shape in the glass. This is a firmer style of the Merlot that today doesn’t quite have the early appeal of the 2009, but it is striking just the same. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2018."
