Wine Spectator
A powerful red, with concentrated flavors of red plum, cherry and boysenberry that are layered with plenty of rich spice and mineral accents. Touches of slate and cardamom make for a complex finish. *2017 Wine of the Year, Highly Recommended* (KM)

Soft and layered, this perennially impressive vineyard-designate speaks highly of the variety, showing balanced offerings of plum, dark cherry, leather and spice. A smoky oak character lies beneath the fruit, complementing it well, while an expansive tannic presence supports the wine's overall breadth and depth. Big boned, this is built to age yet entirely enjoyable now. (VB)

The 2014 Merlot Three Palms is one sexy little Merlot that does everything right. Blackcurrants, black cherries, loads of underbrush and forest floor, and exotic spice notes all emerge from the glass. This full-bodied, plump, sexy beauty has enough mid-palate depth and tannin structure to keep for 10-15 years. 92+
