then dry grain and oak

While charred-oak flavors hit the palate first (it’s matured in charred oak barrels for at least five years)

O'Brien Estate Merlot Reserve - 2005 (750ml) Size:750ml then dry grain and oakThere are only 100 cases of the 2013 Merlot Reserve. One of the most Titanic Merlots ever made in Northern California, the wine is rich, full, reveals graphite intermixed with chocolate, sweet black raspberry and black cherry fruit in abundance. Its full bodied, opulent, luxurious and even extravagant. This is over the top, but incredibly well balanced and pure Merlot to drink over the next decade. Bravo! Robert Parker 96 points
