Review: Reminiscent of Old World
reds, this ruby red vintage fuses leather, black tea and tobacco box aromas
with plum and berry flavors. Medium bodied, velvet-textured and slightly spicy,
this wine pairs wonderfully with game meats, lamb, and mushroom dishes. This
wine was blended with a small amount of Cabernet Franc for depth, and finished
with a bit of Tannat for added structure. Great with food, this Merlot pairs
well with roasted meats like turkey, duck, venison and lamb.
My
Review: This was probably my favorite wine that we tasted.
It smelled of cherry. After bringing in some air to open up to flavors, I
tasted black cherry and raspberry. It had a tannic smell to the nose and was
somewhat spicy. This was a special wine because it was a new vintage released 2
hours before we tasted it.
