Tulip Hill 2001 Mt. Oso Vineyard Merlot

  • Editors' Choice
  1. $18
A fine and delicious Merlot from underrated Lake County, filled with juicy flavors of blackberries, cassis and cherries. This well-made wine also benefits from smooth, ripe tannins and balanced acidity. Shows the potential of its appellation.  — S.H.  (5/1/2004)

This unusual Merlot-Syrah blend is fresh and tasty. It has soft tannins, a gentle mouthfeel and ripe flavors of cherries and chocolate cream pie, although it’s fully dry.  — S.H.  (10/1/2004)

Tulip Hill 2001 Mt. Oso Vineyard Syrah

  1. $16
A little heavy in body, with berry-cherry flavors and nice tannins. This dry wine has an earthy, herbal edge to it, but the solid core of fruit is enjoyable.  — S.H.  (5/1/2004)

Tulip Hill 2000 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)

  1. $24
There’s a big gulp of intensely ripe fruit flavor that fills the mouth with sweet blackberries and mocha. You’ll also find hints of overripeness in the slightly raisiny notes and a Porty sweetness on the finish.  — S.H.  (6/1/2004)

Tulip Hill 2001 Mount Oso Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon-Syrah

  1. $28
Smooth in texture, with a velvety softness that carries blackberry and coffee flavors. This dry wine finishes with a tannic astringency from the Cabernet that’s unlikely to age away.  — S.H.  (10/1/2004)
