Score 89/100 · Drink 2005-2013, Pierre Rovani, Dec 2002

The dark ruby-colored 2000 Merlot (only 225 cases) is more tannic and rustic than what is typically found at Quilceda Creek. Produced primarily from Ciel du Cheval Vineyard fruit (66%), it exhibits waxy, spicy blackberry aromas. On the palate, this firm, medium-bodied wine offers outstanding purity and focus. Black currants, cassis, and black cherries can be discerned in its foursquare character. Projected maturity: 2005-2013. (Not yet released) Tel. (360) 568-2389
