description: A blend of 61% Merlot and 37% Cabernet Sauvignon, this medium-bodied red comes across as a bit firm and earthy. It sure smells fine, combining tobacco, earth, red currants and vanilla, but doesn't seem to have the richness of fruit to stand up to the structure in the long run. Drink now, with rare beef or lamb.
variety: Merlot-Cabernet Sauvignon
designation: Zone 6
