This is a chewy and flavorful wine with lots of juicy fruit and firm, chewy tannins. Full-bodied, rich and flavorful. Very structured and powerful. Tannic. This needs four to five years. Better after 2023.

Brought up in 50% new barrels, it reminds me of a top Pomerol with its ripe black cherry, chocolate, tobacco, and graphite aromas and flavors. With full-bodied richness, good acidity, and outstanding balance, drink it any time over the coming 10-15 years.

Made of 100% Merlot aged in 50% new French oak for 20 months, the 2016 Merlot Bancroft Ranch is medium to deep garnet-purple colored and sings of warm black and red plums, black cherry compote and molten chocolate with...   Made of 100% Merlot aged in 50% new French oak for 20 months, the 2016 Merlot Bancroft Ranch is medium to deep garnet-purple colored and sings of warm black and red plums, black cherry compote and molten chocolate with touches of baking spices and underbrush. Full-bodied, concentrated and decadent, it has a soft texture and bags of juicy fruit, finishing spicy. 867 cases produced, to be released in February 2019.- LPB

Then again, these white tufa soils on Howell Mountain are special. Black cherry, crushed rocks, menthol, licorice and savory herbs abound in a potent, structured Merlot endowed with terrific underlying tension and power. The Bancroft Merlot is one of the hidden gems in this range. -- Antonio Galloni

It has aspects of forest sage, dusty rock, cocoa powder that highlight mountain tannin structure and bold oak. VIRGINIE BOONE
