The 2004 Merlot “Cuvee Lucia” includes 5% Cabernet Franc and is sourced from Ciel du Cheval and Champoux Vineyards. The wine was aged for 16 months in 35% new French oak. It offers a fragrant bouquet of cedar, tobacco, cassis, cherry, and black currant. Medium-bodied, it has a supple texture, ripe, forward, spicy red and black fruit flavors, and a seamless, medium-long finish. Drink this tasty Merlot now through 2017. Chris Camarda’s Andrew Will Cellars began in 1989 and currently produces 4300 cases of predominantly Bordeaux-style blends. They reflect Carmada’s interpretation of each vineyard’s terroir.Tel.
