Merryvale Profile - 1997 (750ml) Nelson this structured yet graceful wine

this structured yet graceful wine shows youthful tension and energy

maple syrup prevalent with lots of rye hanging out in the background

and Petit-Verdot

This will resolve nicely over time – I would start with about five years

Merryvale Profile - 1997 (750ml) Nelson this structured yet graceful wineHere's a rich, solid Cab from a good winery with a proven track record. Made in the Bordeaux style, with 72% Cabernet Sauvignon, 26% Merlot and 2% Cabernet Franc, it's got ripe black currant and plum aromas and flavors and a solid dose of toasty new French oak. Very balanced and complex. The tannins are soft enough to drink it tonight, but it can also age, if you want. 92 Points Wine Enthusiast
