90 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Havens Wine Cellars Merlot" from the vintage 2013 on 01.01.2016 with 90 of 100 points.
"This is a medium-bodied, fleshy and floral wine, happy in violet aromas and a light spiciness of nutmeg behind the soft layers of black plum and cherry. With a yeasty backbone reminiscent of baked bread, it is fulsome and balanced."

87 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Havens Wine Cellars Merlot" from the vintage 2001 on 01.01.2005 with 87 of 100 points.
"This is a full-bodied Merlot, dark and fairly tannic, with young acids undergirding flavors of currants, black cherries and dark bitter chocolate. It's hard now, and will wake up with a good piece of meat, but should soften with a few years of age."
yr. 2000 Wine Enthusiast:
88 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Havens Wine Cellars Merlot" from the vintage 2000 with 88 of 100 points.
"A seductive wine made in the Napa Big Red style, which means ultrasoft, velvety tannins, extracted fruit and a lavish overlay of oak. Achieves complexity through the mélange of berries, herbs and spices that wash over the palate in waves. A bit flaccid, though, and there's a thinness in the center that finishes hot."
