Score 90/100 · Drink 2007-2017, Robert Parker, Dec 2007

The outstanding 2005 Merlot Carneros possesses a deep ruby/purple color, a big, sweet nose of fudge, espresso roast, sweet oak, and plenty of black cherry and currant fruit. Drink this opulent, fleshy, hedonistic Merlot over the next 7-10 years. Tel. (707) 261-2000

Score 87-89/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, May 2007

(with 9% cabernet franc) Good ruby-red. Reticent aromas of black cherry, redcurrant, licorice and tobacco leaf. Juicy, leanish and moderately concentrated, with a redcurrant flavor complicated by a floral element. A bit dry and dusty on the back end, in need of more thrust.
