As good as many Napa Cabs at twice the price. Dry, richly tannic and smooth, with blackberry and cola flavors and a nice streak of fresh green garden herbs. Best now.

Creamy vanilla notes mingle with cherry fruit on the nose of this brightly expressive wine. Built more like a Burgundy than a traditional California Merlot, it features fairly high acidity and racy fruit flavors. A subsidiary label from Kent Rasmussen.

Weedy and thin, this Merlot has a stubborn green streak that won’t age out. Despite a splash of cherries and oak, that stemmy taste dominates.
