EOS RESERVE MERLOT

EOS RESERVE MERLOT Wine Details
Price: $38.00 per bottle

Description: This limited bottling represents a selection of seven of our finest barrels of 2001 Merlot, primarily new French oak, with a single barrel of Cabernet Franc blended in for complexity. Highly concentrated, the intense fruit, body and oak contribution marry together to form a lovely, balanced wine. Ripe, jammy aromas of cherry and plum dominate the nose, while perfume, pepper and mint elevate the background notes. Full-bodied and supple, huge flavors of black cherry and fudge lead to a mouth-coating finish of chocolate and coffee. Excellent with pork roast in an orange-chile reduction, and wonderful with chocolate cheesecake, it is big enough for spicy meat entres and elegant enough for desserts. Will improve for two years, and age nicely for seven.
