Calamus Estate 2012 Meritage

The usual three grapes go into this puppy, but heavily dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon at 58% followed by Merlot and Franc at 33% and 9% respectively.  The wine spent 21 months in oak, one-third of which was new but it hardly shows any of the wood character at all … time to  talk fruit: cassis, black cherry dominate, palate is lush adding vanilla, cocoa and a hint of leather to the ever-present fruit.  This is a wine you could enjoy now but also has good potential for the future (now – 2020).  Price: $32.00 – Rating: ****+
