This Merlot / Cabernet Sauvignon blend is dark and sultry black color with a big, sweet nose of espresso roast and Indian spices, blackberries, spicy cherry, and smoky oak. This is one long, opulent wine with impressive concentration, a huge mid-palate, and a delightful finish. All of this is presented in a seamless, supple texture that offers an exotic drinking experience tonight, but promises to evolve 5 – 7 years, peaking in 2012 by our estimate.
