Monterosso Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot 2005

Very attractive nose with a combination of spicy, earthy, strawberry and hints of tobacco and slight savoury notes. Richly flavoured mouth with medium body and fine tannins. Fine oak backing. Great balance. Firm, long finish. Drinks very easily now, yet has potential to develop. Made to match with a wide range of foods.
