"The 2005 Merlot Canoe Ridge Vineyard is a bit muted aromatically but coaxing reveals notes of cherry and black raspberry. It has a round mouth-feel and an elegant personality with attractive flavors and moderate length."
Wine Spectator 86
"Firm in texture, with a gamy note weaving though the cherry and spice flavors, lingering gently. Drink now through 2013. 12,000 cases made."
