description: This is essentially a mirror image of the 2004 Donedei Merlot. It brings the same dark, smoky, espresso-loaded scents and flavors, but it is sleeker, the acid more apparent (though actually a bit lower) and the tannins left to hang in the finish. This is a fine companion to the Merlot, but needs a juicy steak or rich sauce to cut the tannins.
variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
