There's a cool minty, dried herbal edge to this Merlot, Cab Sauv blend, but there's also plenty of blackcurrant and forrest berry fruit, underpinned by mocha and warm stones. Medium to full bodied, it lacks some of the stuffing of previous vintages. It's not exactly a mouth-fulling wine of plush, ripe fruit, but instead one of contemplation, that shows just a few of its cards, preferring to keep most to its chest for now. Drink 2026-2032. ~ 91 Wine Enthusiast
