Elegance and the richness of full fruit characterize this 2005 release of the Amelie. Soft aromas of vanilla and oak along with lively ripe blackberry and mocha give way to full flavors of cassis, ripe plums, and a brambly fruit. As the wine undresses it reveals its silky elegance of black cherry and it’s joyful character. The traditional blend of Merlot and Cabernet creates a joyful mouth texture dissolving the complex tannins into a graceful long finish.
