Tasting Notes
"A delicious nose, packed with cherries, toast, chocolate, cedar and spice. Light tannins soften and gently give way to the finish, which lingers on with notes of cinnamon and fresh berry. This wine has an overall remarkable depth and complexity that guarantees greatness in its old age." - Francois Cordesse, Winemaker

Acclaim
94 Points - "The '01 Matanzas merlot is intense, to say the least. We love the sophisticated, toasted, smoky oak vanilla aromas streaked with pepper, chocolate and black plum jam. It is packed full of toasted oak, coffee, chocolate, plum jam and orange peel flavours. Smooth and polished, perhaps the best merlot yet from Matanzas Creek, drinkable but you could easily cellar for five or more years." - Wine Access

84 Points - Robert M. Parker Jr., Wine Advocate

Very Good - "It looks and even tastes dark, with hints of tobacco and coffee and a kind of leathery toughness. Classy wine." - Wall Street Journal
