BUY THE WINE

Michael Schuster: Dense to smell; ripe blackberry fruit; a marked Merlot character. Fairly concentrated, fresh middleweight, with a very fine tannin and an easygoing, almost velvety texture. Ripe, fluid, generous, and juicy, with good fruit length; most accessible, if lacking a little in aromatic scope. A relatively early, easy pleasure. 2016–30. 15.5/16+
