After harvest, the fruit spent 16 months in barrel to achieve solid structure along with subtle hints of spice and toasty notes before spending an additional 10 months aging in bottle. The wine is 87% Merlot, 11% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Cabernet Franc from our organically farmed Rutherford Vineyard and sustainably farmed Persephone Vineyard. Sensory Description: In the glass, this 2005 Merlot shows deep hues of crimson and cranberry. Enjoy the aromas of ripe bramble berries, brown sugar and cocoa with hints of toasty oak and allspice. Bing cherries and vanilla bean dance in the mouth while the balanced mid-palate gives way to soft yet firm tannins. <table border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=4> <tr><td>Alcohol:</td><td>14.0%</td></tr> <tr><td>Barrel Aging:</td><td>16 months</td></tr> <tr><td>Barrel Type:</td><td>45% French Oak, 55% American Oak, 30% New</td></tr> <tr><td>Harvest Date:</td><td>10/05-11/05</td></tr> <tr><td>Date Bottled:</td><td>07/07</td></tr> <tr><td>Date Released:</td><td>04/08</td></tr> <tr><td>Aging Potential:</td><td>6 - 8 years</td></tr> </table> </td></tr></table> Other products in the category <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/peju/Category19" TITLE="All Wines">All Wines</A>: <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/peju/Product193 TITLE="2002 Estate Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon Rutherford, Napa Valley">2002 Estate Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon Rutherford, Napa Valley</A> <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/peju/Product257 TITLE="2003 Cabernet Franc Persephone Vineyard">2003 Cabernet Franc Persephone Vineyard</A> <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/peju/Product240 TITLE="2003 Cabernet Sauvignon H.B.
