Wine Review: Burrell School 2000 Estate Merlot, Santa Cruz Mountains

Burrell School 2000 Estate Merlot, Santa Cruz Mountains [Our Rating, 7 ], This was a decent wine, but not great. This wines seems light, lacking body or structure. My mother-in-law likes it a lot but to Sue and I it seemed weak, and lacking of boldness or character. Kinda flat, almost watered down. We liked the 2001 a lot, what a difference a year makes. Perhaps this is past its peak.

If you want something from Burrell with a little more zip to it, try one of their Zinfandels. They definitely pack their zins pretty tightly.
