Here is a rich and big-bodied Merlot with a bit of muscle and meat on its bones, but its richness and ample size come without undue debt to ripeness, and its focus is fixed on well-defined fruit. While more rustic than refined and underpinned by tannin enough to notice, it shows a soft edge or two and its slight turn to last-minute dryness sends a signal that it needs no more than a few years of age.
