Sineann Merlot Champoux Vineyard 08
Sineann Merlot Champoux Vineyard 08 - Dark, rich (to the point of voluptuous), powerful. This is what Merlot can be. Huge black cherry nose with graham, toast, and a hint of smoke. Sweet black cherry/plum flavors, accented by touches of plum liqueur, Chambord, toast, smoke, and pepper. Tannins are present, with a very slight grip. The finish, surprisingly for such a huge wine, has good acidity to balance the gobs of fruit.
Sineann's style is dark, aromatic with chocolate overtones and complex, silky tannins. A big, plush juicy wine.
Paul Gregutt, Seattle Times, says: "...wraps its super-ripe cherry/berry fruit in rich layers of coffee, toffee and smoke."
