description: Steaks, chops and grilled mushrooms will love this dry, tannic wine. It's old-style, a term that is not meant to be derogatory, but instead recalls a time when wine was made to be had with food. Similar to a good Bordeaux, it has richly earthy flavors of blackberries, mocha and cedar. Drink now through 2008.
variety: Merlot
