Highland Estate Taylor Peak Merlot 2006

Bennett Valley, Sonoma Valley, Sonoma County, California, United StatesTaylor Peak is 100 per cent Bennett Valley grown fruit that spends 17 months in French oak of which 37 per cent is new. Look for cool blueberry black fruit and blueberries with bits of tobacco, spice, compost chocolate and liquorice. Impressive styling that focuses on mountain fruit giving it power but with Bordeaux Right Bank-like finesse. You can easily drink or hold this merlot for a decade. Well done and fine value.Tasted: 04 January 2009Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
