Eaglevlei Merlot 2005

The wine is dark ruby red - clear and brilliant. Rich, inviting berry fruit on the nose is enhanced by whiffs of caramel and vanilla. These flavours follow through on the velvety smooth, mouth filling palate, while firm acid lingers on the aftertaste.

Serve with pasta, cheese and red meat dishes.
