It opens with blackberry flavors with full tannins and a robust smoky finish.
Benziger Merlot is marked by aromas of bright cherry, red fruit and black plum with notes of vanillin spice which are confirmed on the palate with flavors of blackberry, chocolate and dried herb. Brimming with bright, well-developed fruit, the wine shows a rich, full-bodied middle mouthfeel, fine grained, well-integrated tannins and a long, spice and cream finish.
"This has blackberry, coffee and spice aromas and zesty flavors that take on tannins on the finish. Drink now through 2011." Wine Spectator
