Oakley Five Reds (Cline)2006

74% Merlot, 7% Barbera, 6% Cab Franc, 3% Syrah, 1% Mourvedre
13.5% alcohol Produced by Cline, Sonoma, CA

Olive, ink and rich fruit on the nose. Dark crimson tohttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif almost black in color. Rich and smooth mouth feel. Long. Some inky and bitter flavoers,but nice balance and good fruity finish. Tannins cleanse palate, but leave a ripe cherry, raspberry, blackberry aftertaste. Not as complex as the Cline Syrah but a nice table blend with plenty of flavors. Uhhhmm!
