WOW. Absolutely fantastic port-style dessert wine. The flavors imparted from the barrel aging are really amped up but not unbalanced, it almost drinks like a port finished bourbon. Beautiful caramel brown color, stewed prune, fig and date on the nose, which transfers directly to the palate along with a thick, creamy vanilla note with a touch of barrel char. Juice is absolutely worth the squeeze — 8 days ago

55/45 CS/Merlo blend.
Fresh, juicy & expressive.
Black currant, dark plum, some light, minty undergrowth, a bit of cassis.
Medium bodied on the palate with very fine yet grippy tannins, juicy, ripe. With a bit of creaminess to the fruit and an overall good flow.
This is really nice. — 3 years ago

Very good! No formal notes. I found it quite sauvignon blanc driven. — 2 months ago

This was well-made, but I feel that the fruit just wasn’t rich enough to take advantage of what Merlo was supposed to do in that micro climate — 4 months ago
