About the Wine

Varietal Composition: 75% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc

The 2004 Merlot is rich purple, reflecting the vintage, and offers lush, focused flavors andaromas of bright cherries, strawberry, red and black plums, and cranberry. The CabernetSauvignon gives the wine added strength, firm tannins, and age-ability. Cabernet Francbrings in lovely fragrance with a hint of violets.

Flatter this Merlot's fruit by adding a similar element of fruit to poultry, pork and meat dishes (duckbreast with dried cherry-Merlot sauce, roast chicken with cranberry-wild rice stuffing).Carmelized onions, roasted garlic and mushrooms are also pleasant companions.
