Cabernet Sauvignon 63%, Merlot 37%

Cabernet Sauvignon 63%, Merlot 37% Wine Details
Price:

Description: Aromas of dried cherries and vanilla are followed by flavors of marionberry with a smooth dense texture. Harvesting grapes from four different vineyards for this blend creates a layered, nuanced effect. Each vineyard brings a different strength, Cab from Fraser has great mid-palate texture, Cab from Williamson lends the strong finish, Merlot from Skyline lifts the fruit aromas, and Merlot from Eckerts lends the ripe raspberries flavors. A blend of oak types continues the theme of nuances, with French oak barrels contributing the dense texture and American oak barrels adding sweetness and spice to the aromas. I recommend sipping a glass before dinner then another with dinner to appreciate how the flavors evolve through the night.
