This blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet is aged in 100% new oak, and even seven-plus years after the vintage the oak is still prominent—there’s lots of vanilla and toast upfront. That said, the wine has a rich, creamy texture and plenty of black cherry and herb notes come through on the finish, so the bet here is that this just needs another year or two before being ready for primetime. 1 Note

Shows some pleasant dark toasty aromas to go with its pretty blackberry flavors, but this lacks texture and weight in the mouth. Crisp on the finish. 1 Note

Shows flashes of beauty on the nose, combining vanilla barrel notes with herbs and black cherries. Light and herbal on the palate, this blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon seems a bit like a Loire Cabernet Franc, without the minerality. 1 Note

A Bordeaux style blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot, this is a terrific value for easy entertaining that is sure to please most palates.

With Elegy, Johann Heinrich strays away from Austria to produce his interpretation of a Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon blend. It is a finely structured wine, the oak flavors and the tannins holding well together to give elegance, pointed up by the black currant fruits and a touch of citrus. 1 Note

Time was when cheap Washington Cab-Merlot blends rarely escaped the “veggies”, but those days are happily over. There’s plenty of sweet cherry fruit here, with some herbal and dill notes to be sure, but overall delivering a lot of ripe flavor for the price. 1 Note

How amazing it is to find a wine of this caliber, with some nice age on it, selling at this price. There is plenty of color, and scents of bramble, cherry, tobacco, ash, bark and smoke. In short, this is a party wine, smooth and delicious, with generous cherry, blueberry and raspberry fruit, ripe tannins and perfectly balanced acids. Put this into a blind tasting with some $30 Bordeaux blends from elsewhere, and you are sure to amaze your friends. 250,000 cases produced. 1 Note
