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

this structured yet graceful wine shows youthful tension and energy

acacia and hawthorn and light hints of almond and white chocolate

this wine offers a nice balance between aromas of black fruits and spices

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
