KWV Merlot 2004

This is a supple, elegant and very appealing wine with the tannins well integrated, but prominent enough to need a year or two longer to show off the ripe, fleshy black-cherry, chocolate and oak shadings to their best advantage.

A wine for classic roasts, great steaks and venison and soft, creamy cheeses.
