2006 R Collection Merlot

A fruit forward wine that opens with aromas of red cherry, red plum, cassis, raspberry, anise, chocolate and spice. This rich Merlot fills the mouth with Bing cherry, plum, raspberry and boysenberry with notes of clove and peppery spice before the smooth vanilla finish. Full-bodied, yet approachable, this wine is well structured with a good balance of fruit, acid and tannins.

A beautiful wine, easily able to stand beside more expensive ones. Made with some Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot, it's soft, dry and complex, showing flavors of cherries, berries, currants and herbs.
