Ridgepoint Wines 2005 Cabernet Merlot

Author :Michael Pinkus - Grape Guy
DescriptionDescription  Winemaker Arthur Harder is still plying his trade at Ridgepoint, and although he’s most noted as a white wine maker, he also makes decent and consistently good reds. Take this ’05 Cabernet Merlot for instance. The nose is full on juicy black cherry and blackberries and that juiciness follows through with more black cherry and a hint of woodsy tannin bite that leaves a little bit of dustiness behind on the tongue. This wine really is a gulpable beauty that I finished (with a little help – very little help actually) over the course of an hour or so … I suggest you experiment with this yourself. Price: $15.25
