The delicious blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, one of the most widely recognized wine grape and Merlot grapes makes are combined to create the Tanglewood Cabernet Merlot 2006. The Merlot grapes, which added softness to the mixture, produced a complex and refined wine.
The Cabernet Merlot 2006 is beautifully prepared with fleshy ripe tannins that are supported by rich and black currant and chocolate flavors and the good summer heat of 2005 has resulted the fruit of excellent quality in deep red color of the wine.
