Another great #wawinemonth, this one was made by Michel Rolland, great effort!
Deep garnet red. Layered nose with dark stewed berries, damp leaves, earthiness and dark cocoa. Moderate plus tannins (7.5/10) and well rounded. Really dark palate with dark cocoa, a touch of earthiness and dark red berries. Medium plus body with a dry long finish. Drink till 2020.

This wine is made by the great Michel Roland and is a blend of 81% merlot 19% Cabernet Sauvignon from weinbau vineyard candy mountain Dionysus and Conner lee vineyard all are warm sites and the Cabernet is from tapteil on red mountain. A very big and seductive bouquet of dark plum and crem de cassis like fruit very rich and ripe with toasty oak spice dried flowers and dark coco very complex and long on the finish. Big and chewy very rich and layered with silky smooth velvety texture with layers of dark chocolate and a very long finish. Finish 50+ wonderful balance and length with a firm hand of acidity

Ok yes I admit it. I like it, it's a Merlot BUT IT HAS Cab Sav it has 87% merlot 9 % cab Sav 4 % petit Verdot. Impressive all the way around.

Still a little early to drink this--definitely complex with dark fruit and minerality in the first few sips, but then the tannin seemed to take over and cover up those flavors.
