This is the second time Canoe Ridge has released a reserve, lot-selection Merlot (in 1998 it was Lot No. 16). This wine is still wrapped up tight as a drum, with very young, very compact fruit that suggests depth and power. Like its predecessor, it's serious and dense, but this one needs a lot of breathing time.
