Cabernet-Merlot

Cabernet-Merlot Wine Details
Price: $14.95 per bottle

Description: A wine for all tastes, the Maleta Cab-Merlot is a fruit forward, medium bodied red that lives up the universally popular Merlot component. A charming cherry-like nose opens up to reveal an unexpected complexity with hints of chocolate, blackberry, wet leaves, leather and pencil lead - all typical Bordeaux characteristics while still leaving a New World, fruit driven impression. A dry red, with firm, smooth tannin to provide a supple spine, red fruit and chocolate notes dominate the flavor with the same complex, secondary suggestions of chocolate, cedar, tobacco and clove. A wonderfully integrated wine of superlative value. Eminently drinkable now but will surprise with longevity.
