this is a great merlot that's intensely concentrated and dazzlingly rich—everything you want a merlot to be. it's power packed with black cherries, cherry liqueur, cocoa and sweet oak, with firm, hard tannins. that is, of course, the nickel & nickel style. it shows classic oakville structure and a hard-to-define elegance, making it one of the best merlots of the vintage.
