Franciscan Oakville Merlot 2001 (California)

Franciscan Oakville Merloticon Price - $19.49 Size - 750 mL- California Wine Tasting held on Thursday May 26, 2005 at the Powers Liquor Mart in Colorado Springs with Will Gillum.

Heavy legs with a deep red coloring. I detect mostly alcohol and little fruit on the nose. I describe this wine as velvety smooth with a medium full flavor and nice depth. It has good dryness and a medium finish. For more information visit Franciscan Oakville website. Buy Franciscan 2002 Merlot icon. Grade: B+
