Silverado Vineyards, Limited Reserve, Merlot--Vintage 1997
Stag's Leap District, Napa Valley
In two six-bottle original cartons
The 1997 Merlot Limited Reserve's (750 cases) dark ruby color is followed by sweet, mocha-infused black cherry fruit intermixed with the ever-present new oak. On the attack, it reveals good ripeness and what appear to be high quality raw materials, but then the acid kicks in and the wine tastes attenuated, clipped, and short. Sure, it will last 15 or 20 years, but where's the pleasure? Robert Parker. Wine Advocate #132 (Dec 2000)
