Henry of Pelham 2007 Cabernet-Merlot, Reserve VQA 750mL [395855]
2007 Cabernet-Merlot, Reserve VQA
DESCRIPTION
The blending of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot has created a wine that exhibits plush
fruit supported by tannin depth with elegance, suppleness and structure. We make this wine so that it
may reward its cellaring for a number of years rather then merely surviving it.
A youthful wine will
therefore exhibit well structured tannins that demands a complimenting food while a wine with greater
than 4 years of age will begin to deliver nuances of flavour, texture and length that can only be
achieved by making the wine in this traditional style.
