title: Comtesse Thérèse 2006 Aquebogue Estate Merlot (North Fork of Long Island)
description: The nose offers plenty of cooked plum preserves, warm spice and toasted, nutty oak. There's a nice, lush texture and body, and bright red cherry and plums flavors on the palate. The fruit flavors may be slightly lacking in concentration, but supple tannins make for smooth, easy sipping.
variety: Merlot
designation: Aquebogue Estate
