96 points and a Cellar Selection, Wine Enthusiast: "L'Apparita is a divine and delicate expression of Merlot with rich layers of black cherry, blackberry, spice, mocha, cedar, exotic spice and polished stone that are seamlessly woven together. The wine hits the palate with the softness and richness of the world's best Merlots and leaves a fading impression of fruit and spice that can be counted in many long, delicious minutes. Hold until 2018." (12/10) 95 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The 2006 L’Apparita (Merlot) reveals gorgeous clarity and precision. It is another large-scaled, dramatic wine, rich in baritone notes of dark fruit, menthol, herbs, licorice and new leather. The tannins build mightily on the vibrant finish, yet this remains an impeccable, polished wine of remarkable beauty. I only hope to have a chance to taste the wine again in the future?.amazingly today it tastes just like it did from tank in November 2006! Anticipated maturity: 2016-2022." (08/09) 94 points Wine Spectator: "Wonderful crushed berry and jam aromas, with hints of black olives and herbs. Full-bodied, with soft and refined tannins, pretty fruit and a mineral and floral aftertaste. Merlot. Best from 2011 through 2016." (10/09)
