2OO6 VALLEY OF THE MOON WINERY CUVÉE DE LA LUNA

This cuvée contains an unusually large percentage of Merlot in the Cabernet blend as well as small amounts of Malbec, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot.  A total of 24 months in small French, Hungarian and American oak barrels enhanced the cuvée with delicate wood notes.  The medium-bodied wine displays classic Bordeaux-inspired character and has aromas of cassis, black cherry, sage, rosemary, and sweet vanilla.  Flavors are of black cherry, cassis and cocoa.  Suggested retail is $35.  Available from Horizon Beverage Company.
