The 1998 Great Estates Merlot (2,585 cases) offers up sweet black cherry fruit aromas and flavors with notions of vanilla and mocha in the background. The wine is medium to full-bodied, with chocolaty notes on the palate, and lush tannin, it should drink well for 5-7 years. Tel. (800) 769-3649; Fax (800) 600-5895
