2005 Gordon Brothers Merlot Columbia Valley

I have enjoyed this producers for several vintages now. They are always very consistent and a value. This wine is dark garnet in color. The nose is full of wild berry, vanilla and chocolate covered cherries. The flavors are sweet dark cherry, cedar and mocha. Acidity is nicely balanced and the tannins are a touch wild now but will mellow over time. This is a very good wine for the price.
