Lobenberg: Merlottypische, satte, dunkle Frucht trifft sich mit der Kraft und Power, die eher an einen Cabernet erinnern. Brombeere, Maulbeere, Teer und satte Zartbitterschokolade unterlegt von Schlehe und Schwarzkirsche. Ein fast fetter Spaßmacher mit toller Mineralik. 93-94/100

Parker über: Napa Valley Merlot

-- Parker: Parker: Composed of 88% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Malbec, the 2012 Merlot appears to be another sensational offering from Doug and John Shafer and their longtime assistant, Elias Fernandez. The sweetness of the tannins, the sucrosity of the fruit and the wine-s richness and expansiveness suggest another great vintage in Napa Valley. This is a sensational Merlot. 92-95/100

Galloni über: Napa Valley Merlot

-- Galloni: Galloni: The 2012 Merlot is a more typical Shafer wine than the 2011. Plums, dark berries, mocha, spices and new leather all flesh out in the glass. The style is juicy, exuberant and racy - all hallmarks of the year. The 2012 is 87% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Sauvignon and 6% Malbec. 91-93/100

Wine Spectator über: Napa Valley Merlot

-- Wine Spectator: WS: Sleek and supple, this is exactly the style of Merlot that made the wine so popular. Floral red currant and cinnamon spice aromas lead to rich, ripe flavors of black cherry and toasty oak, with a hint of earth. 92/100
