2015 TOP 100 WINES | Rank #65
This Merlot from the Dominin vineyard is absolutely stunning in 2011. As this slowly unwinds in the glass it releases gorgeous aromas of ripe blackberries and dark cherries followed by spring florals, spices, graphite and tobacco. This structured red is beautifully balanced with a rich plush texture and a gorgeous layer of underlying acidity that lends to the juicy, yet firm finish. This is an exceptional effort that has the potential to age nicely over the next decade and beyond. (Best 2016-2030) - March, 2015 (JD)
