Great blend of Merlot and Cab. Stunning for a 2011, though a touch green, which is fine by me.

Very nice Sunday night wine. Tannins a little tight, fruit a little underdeveloped but overall we enjoyed it.

"Romance of the Heart" one of our favorites from the O'Brien Estates. If you're looking to try any of their wines, we highly recommend any of them. The only thing better than their wine is the staff & owners.
