90 Points Robert Parker: "The 2004 Merlot (which includes 3% Cabernet Franc) is a dense, rich, concentrated effort boasting a dark ruby/purple color along with plenty of black cherry and currant fruit intermixed with espresso roast and earth notes. Its moderate tannin is sweet and well-integrated. Drink it over the next decade.  Michael Keenan has been pushing the quality of these offerings to exciting levels over the last several vintages, and this Spring Mountain winery is poised to garner more and more accolades from consumers for their impeccably made wines.This 50-acre Spring Mountain estate, which has been hitting on all cylinders over recent vintages, is emerging as one of the region's finest producers, thanks in part to winemaking guru Nils Venge, who is their consultant."
