Cathedral Cellar Merlot 2003

Intense red colour. Interesting spiciness complemented by the intriguing coffee and cherry flavours. Soft hints of Cederwood. Firm, round tannins leads to an interesting finish. Cellaring should give it softer edges.

Red meats like Fillet steak, rack of ribs and will also go well with interesting casseroles and specially made home made stews.
