2005 Cabernet-Merlot

TASTING NOTES

Nicely structured color. The nose opens on touches of ripe red berries
framed with hints of vanilla and spices. The mouth is soft and balanced
with flavors of blackberries, plums and ripe black cherries. Soft tannins
come along to linger the mocha driven berry flavors on the finish. A
recommended wine to match grilled meats and goat cheeses.
