“Among the very deepest and most generously filled Merlots in this survey, this latest bottling from Miner is bursting with ripe cherries, decked out with extravagant, crème brulee oak and wonderfully well-balanced… Supple, fleshy and mouth filling, it is long and quite compelling on the palate, and there is every reason to believe that it will get better and better with a bit of time in the bottle.”
