Lodmell Cellars 2005 Merlot

Owning to its generously complete composition, the 2005 Lodmell Cellars Merlot was made in style that is not difficult to define. Having aromas of violet and black pepper, it further possesses black currant, ripe plum and cherry on the palate. Densely packed, and proving it with its heavy structure and near-black hue, this Merlot easily succeeds at aspiring to the variety’s opulent style and manner of production. Lovingly and patiently aged for thirty months prior to bottling, this Merlot has attained a certain star quality having been barrel-conditioned for a long life to come.

One will be justly rewarded by this wine’s longevity in the cellar. As it is widely applicable in its food-friendly nature, the 2005 Lodmell Cellars Merlot is a fine accompaniment to pepper-corn encrusted steak, pork tenderloin in a plum sauce, elk medallions, or a spring lamb seasoned in rosemary.
