Can Merlot make a comeback?

No, you were correct. Remember, he also criticized Cab Franc, but the wine he saved and savored, albeit out of styrofoam, was a '61 Cheval Blanc!

Just had the Havens Reserve Merlot…

2006 Havens Reserve Merlot Carneros
Translucent bright red color. Medium body. Spicy red cherry fruit. Good mid-palate. Tight finish. Decent amount of oomph for such medium color. Moderate finish. Not too complex. Good varietal flavor. A decent Merlot. Unsure of the price.
81pts

81 points? That’s a tad harsh given your tasting notes Roy.
