Harmonious and complex, with ripe plum, cherry and currant flavors accented by smoky, mocha-scented oak, striking a fine balance. Shows ripe, integrated, firm tannins on the finish, where the flavors fold together nicely. Drink now through 2009. 3,20... Wine Spectator. A Merlot wine from California in USA. 2001 Beringer Merlot Private Reserve Bancroft Ranch 750ml
