Dec 2007 Robert Parker 87 Drink: 2007 - 2012 $32 (32)
The red wines include a raspberry and chocolatey-scented and flavored, medium-bodied 2004 Malbec that is elegant, with fine tannins, medium body, and a nice, finesse-styled personality. Drink it over the next 5-6 years. Chocolate, cocoa, mocha, and some underbrush dominate the 2004 Merlot. This is a nice, fleshy style of Merlot that could use more complexity, but it cheats no one in terms of flesh, texture, and richness. Drink it over the next 4-5 years.
Richard Arrowood still produces wines at Arrowood Vineyards and Winery in spite of the sale of Arrowood first to Robert Mondavi, then to Constellation, and then to Jess Jackson. He, and most importantly his boss, seems to have changed little, and that’s good news for wine consumers."
