Merlot — $35
The 2007 vintage was an ideal growing season with consistent temperatures. There was above average rainfall in the month of June and some early fall cooling, but the balanced temperatures and warm fall brought new levels of complexity to this years reds.
The nose has an intense perfume, almost musky cologne with layers of concentrated red fruits and spices like cinnamon and allspice compliment the cedary aromas. The palate is very focused with the natural acidity lifting the intense flavours of currants, strawberries, raspberries and mint as the wine fades into a soft long finish.
Enjoy this wine now with food or cellar until 2014.
Recommended Food Pairing:
Garlic and rosemary rubbed flank steak topped with morel mushrooms and brown butter will balance the bright fruit profile. Medium intense cheeses will also bring additional complexity to this well built wine.
