A blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Merlot, the 2008 Winemakers Selection Cabernet Merlot displays a deep garnet-purple color and aromas of ripe cassis and warmed black cherries with an undercurrent of menthol and pepper. Full-bodied with good concentration, a balanced backbone of crisp acidity and medium-firm chewy tannins, it finishes long. Drink this one now to 2015. Shaw Vineyard Estate currently does not have a USA importer.
