Cartlidge & Browne Merlot 2004
Medium-full garnet in color, the wine's aromas are principally ripe black currant and blueberry, bolstered by notes of cola, licorice, and unsweetened chocolate, as well as spicy oak. On the palate, the texture is firm but without powerful tannins, its flavors of cassis, black cherry, and spice cake. Makes a great accompaniment for roasted or grilled red meats (especially lamb), poultry and soft-ripened cheeses. Also partners very well with polenta and sausages. Wine Enthusiast This wine is rustic, but it's fully dry, has great fruit and rich tannins, and the bottom line is that it's fun. A good example of the fine art of blending cool and warm places. From Clarksburg, Monterey, Mendocino and Paso Robles. Score: 85. —Steve Heimoff, December 31, 2006.All sizes are 750mL unless otherwise noted. |
