Golden Kaan Merlot 2005

This is a supple, elegant and very appealing South African Merlot 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.

Serve with a wide range of dishes including grilled meat, venison and hearty pasta dishes.
