Reininger Helix Merlot 07

A scent of charcoal smoke and baking spice intertwined with black cherry cola and a touch of pencil lead. Bathing the palate is a juicy mountain of blackberries, blueberries and black pepper while cigar box spice climbs to the top of this Cliff of Insanity. Charcoal and a black fruit finish cling to the summit like a thunderhead cloud.

Lush and luscious, Merlot fans are going to love this wine. The swanky aromas of oak spice, smoke and currants blend gracefully with fresh cigar tobacco and caramel apple. Well structured with firm tannins, the taste of juicy black berries and vanilla is a wonderful precursor to the rich, full bodied finish of chocolate. - the winery
