點(diǎn)擊次數(shù)：10817

The 5 classic Bordeaux grape varietals of Cabernet Sauvignon (40%), Merlot (40%), Cabernet Franc (7%), Malbec (10%) and Petit Verdot (3%) comprise this reserve Meritage from Okanagan Valley producer Jackson-Triggs. A bright, young nose of raspberry and coffee is followed by pleasant flavors of spicy pepper and berries, but the mouthfeel is dry and tannic, giving the wine a rough character. Aging will help but there’s still a lack of elegance here that might turn off lovers of balanced, softer wines. Imported by The Meritage Association.——S.K.(5/1/2007)—— 84

From its inviting aromas of vanilla, dried herbs and black cherries to its lushly tannic finish, this wine strikes all the right notes. Supple and fleshy in the mouth, it lacks only the complexity and intensity to push it to the next level. Drink now–2010, although it might age even longer. Imported by Vincor USA. — (9/1/2005) —88
