Ella Valley Vineyards, Merlot, Vineyard Choice, 2003 (Barrel Tasting): Full-bodied, firmly structured with dark black cherry, berry, anise and spice flavors that stand up nicely to the firm tannins and moderate oak influences. Needs time but promises to soften and develop beautifully. Tentative Score 89-91. (Tasted 16 Dec 2004) - David Rogov
