The Lone Quince

Cab Merlot 2016

Grape Varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon 86%; Merlot 14% Purple with crimson edges – looks serious in the glass. Tobacco  leaf – feint cassis –  purple plums – a complex nose which adds weight to the “serious” theme. Quality MR Cabernet leads the charge here. A wine with high cheek- bones. Just ripe cabernet gives this sinew and poise. Merlot is subservient – almost hard to detect. Terrific wine, at almost twice the price.
