Oak Lane Merlot/Cabernet Sauvignon 2005

This 50-50 blend is an excellent balance of 2 great wines from the estate; made from wooded and unwooded wines, the harmony of fruit echoes brilliantly on the pallet. Cherry, currant and blackberry fruit melds with a soft spice on the finish. Can stand up with many red meats and yet very nice on its own.
