Wine Details
Price:
$35.00 per bottle
Description:
Professionally evaluated on May 22/06 and declared under priced. Big and jammy is what "Hollywood and Vines" tasters dubbed the Benchmark Merlot and went on to say that wineries with $100 bottles should watch out for this one. We like to think of our Benchmark Merlot with a little less hyperbole. The blackberry and cherry flavours are well integrated with the French oak, but really, ripe fruit tannins are the key to this wine's structure. Concentrated intense cranberry and blackberry play off against hints of leather, cigar box and vanilla. At three years old this wine may seem too young on its own, so lay it down and wait for cellaring to work ts magic or pair the Benchmark Merlot 2003 with big juicy roasts, chops or steaks and have it for dinner now.
