Ferrari-Carano Merlot 2005

Blend: 90% Merlot, 6% Malbec, 4% Cabernet Sauvignon

Select lots of grapes were chosen from Ferrari Carano's vineyards in Sonoma County to create this beautifully balanced and full-bodied 2005 Merlot. A multidimensional, velvety wine with a dark ruby color and complex nose of ripe cherry, blackberry jam, cinnamon and caramel, this year's Merlot is accented by intricately woven flavors of wild berries and chocolate-covered strawberries with mocha lingering on the silky finish.
