"The 2004 Highland Estates Merlot Taylor Peak is 100% Merlot aged 15 months in French oak. Sadly, only 1,500 cases are produced of this winner. Aromas of white chocolate, black cherries, and mountain berries are followed by medium to full-bodied flavors as well as a striking underlying minerality that comes from the rocky soils of this high elevation vineyard. This gorgeous Merlot has a European-like delicacy combined with the richness and power of California. Drink it over the next 10-15 years. Score: 90. —Robert Parker, December 2006.
The Wine Enthusiast Lots of structure in this refined, polished Merlot. The tannins are strong but sweetly ripe, and with the crisp acids, they provide a rich framework to the cherry, cassis, cola and mocha flavors. Dry and elegant, this wine drinks well now and should hold for five years before the fruit fades. Score: 93. —Steve Heimoff, June 01, 2007.
