Wine Critic Reviews

Wine Spectator (91): About Wine Spectator

Wine Enthusiast (90): A little bit of earth and saline mixes with aromas of boysenberry jam slathered on a warm waffle. The creaminess of the wine's texture befits plush tannins and mild acidity. Dried cherry, nougat and walnut flavors would be a great energy bar. Fun stuff.

Owen Bargreen (91): The 2021 Airfield Estates Merlot shows off roasted figs, baking spices and red. Cherry on the palate, with hints of tobacco leaf. Medium-bodied and nicely textured, enjoy now and over the next few years.
