"It would be hard to find a better $8 Merlot anywhere. This is soft and full-bodied, quite flavorful and fruity, with pretty black cherry fruit. Drinking especially nicely with a bit of bottle age, it finishes with well-proportioned notes of tobacco and clove."
yr. 2008 Wine Enthusiast:
87 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Two Vines Merlot" from the vintage 2008 on 01.07.2012 with 87 of 100 points.
"The blend includes 6% Syrah, and the wine has a pretty plum and blueberry color, that (perhaps by the power of suggestion) carries through into the aromas. It's tight, tart, and clean, offering a mix of berry fruits and a finish lined with vanilla and tobacco. Overall the balance is excellent, the wine juicy and fresh, and the blend just about perfect."
yr. 2003 Wine Enthusiast:
87 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Two Vines Merlot" from the vintage 2003 on 01.01.2007 with 87 of 100 points.
"Though perhaps just a notch below the 2002 version, this remains the Merlot to beat in the budget bottle sweepstakes. Bright berry fruit is married to smooth chocolate, without appearing over-manipulated or laced with fake vanilla. Creamy and consistent, it's widely available at a great price. Over 172,000 cases were produced."

88 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Two Vines Merlot" from the vintage 2002 on 01.01.2006 with 88 of 100 points.
"This is the gold standard for $8 Merlot from anywhere in the world. Pretty fruit is highlighted by bright raspberry scents. Smooth and creamy in the mouth, with lovely flavors of sweet cherry and milk chocolate."
yr. 2001 Wine Enthusiast:
88 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Two Vines Merlot" from the vintage 2001 with 88 of 100 points.
"Bright raspberry scents, with a fresh and lifted aspect that adds to its immediate appeal. The blend includesCab Franc andCab Sauvignon, a lot of complexity in an $8 wine. This is substantial, layered, with a plummy, herbal, fairly tannic middle and plenty of weight in the follow-through."
