16th Anniversary
1lscl (Wines Located in New York)
"... is far more accessible than other vintages from the nineties. The color is an opaque black plum, and the nose offers classic cassis intermixed with licorice, foresty scents, and minerals. Full-bodied and powerful, with a 45-50-second finish, it is the most developed and evolved Anniversary Release I have tasted in the nineties."(93pts)

(Wines Located in New York)
"There are 300+ cases of Merus's 1999 Cabernet Sauvignon (the second vintage produced by proprietors Mark Herold and Erika Gottl) which tips the scales with a well-hidden 14.8% alcohol. The saturated blue/purple color is accompanied by aromas of sweet licorice, high quality French oak, and black currant as well as blackberry fruit. The wine is full-bodied and rich, with elegance, sweet tannin, and a textured, impressive mouthfeel, it is one of the top wines of the vintage.

"The 2000 Cabernet Sauvignon (450 cases) exhibits a dense ruby/purple color as well as a sweet nose of charcoal, blackberry, cassis, mineral, and Asian spice characteristics. Full-bodied and rich, with well-integrated oak, a creamy texture, and real opulence as well as purity with no hard edges, this is the most evolved and forward effort Merus has yet produced. It should be drunk over the next 10-12 years. This is a thrilling offering from true garagists!..."(90pts)

This low acid, full-bodied 2001 possesses tremendous intensity, a massive palate impression, and no trace of heaviness or heat from its high octane style. The tannin is sweet, but clearly noticeable."(94-7pts)

4695 Philip Togni Cabernet Sauvignon - Vintage 1996
2nl (Wines Located in New York)
"Cabernet Sauvignon is king at Togni, and they are wines of extraordinary concentration, flavor dimension, and aging potential. The 1996 Cabernet Sauvignon, which I had a peek at last year, has indeed turned out to be a monumental effort, comparable in quality with his 1994, 1992, and 1991. An opaque purple/black color is followed by a knock-out nose of blackberry, tobacco, chocolate, and licorice-infused aromas."(96pts)

Opulent and voluptuous, with huge body brilliantly balanced by sweet tannin and adequate acidity, this Cabernet possesses impeccable equilibrium, admirable purity, and a 50-second finish. It is one of Togni s great Cabernet Sauvignons, of which there have been many over the last quarter of a century."(96pts)

At $40-50 it delivers as hedonistic a glass of Cab as one can hope, whether you are spending $40 or $400. Mmm mmm delicious might be the best way to put it - just tasty, rich and ripe in all the right places. Thick, sweet, chocolaty nose with a hint of motor oil cassis flavors so thick they belong in a tar pit delicious wine with nice spice that is not overbearing nice, dusty finish."(94pts JK)

The compelling 1997 Reserve Claret offers an opaque purple color in addition to a sumptuous bouquet of sweet blackberries, creme de cassis, and minerals, superb richness, exceptional concentration, and huge body. However, it manages to avoid being overbearing or unmanageable. Purity and delineation are also present in this multi-dimensional, prodigious wine. Although an infant in terms of development, it is accessible because of the ripe tannin and spectacularly-concentrated fruit."(95pts)

Black Sears Vineyard
(Wines Located in New York)
"The 1997 Zinfandel Black-Sears Vineyard (81-year old vines; 17% alcohol) is the finest Black-Sears Turley has yet produced. Flirting with perfection, it is one of the most extraordinary Zinfandels I have ever tasted. This vineyard, located high on Howell Mountain, in a wilderness area inhabited by mountain lions, bobcats, and wild pigs, has turned out a saturated black/purple-colored wine with fabulous aromas of creme de cassis, minerals, cold steel, Asian spices, violets, and licorice. The wine possesses unbelievable fruit richness, layers of extract and glycerin, phenomenal purity, and a 40+-second finish. Somehow, some way, the 17% alcohol has been concealed beneath the wine's extraordinary richness. Is it any wonder that so many other Zinfandel producers are jealous of Turley Cellars? This offering should drink beautifully for 7-8 years. Larry Turley feels that the 1997 Zinfandels "are the best wines we have yet made." The wines are amazingly good, and as the tasting notes suggest, readers could buy blind here and always end up with a juicy, complex, mouthfilling wine. Release date 9/99. Tel.
