Lyeth Red Meritage 1999

Visual aspect: Dark ruby red. Nose: Lovely ripe fruit aroma full of plums, berries, notes of cedar and a hint of orange zest. Palate: The inviting prelude leads to fully-developed flavors that linger on the palate in a long, silky finish. Scents of spice and vanilla are well-balanced against the assertive fruit characters. Recommended food: A perfect match with beef, pork and game.
