Trevor Jones Cabernet/Merlot 1996 (Australia)

Price - $24.49 Size - 750 mL - New World Wine Tasting held on Monday July 25, 2005 at the Powers Liquor Mart in Colorado Springs with Will Gillum.

Deep burgundy coloring with medium heavy legs. Has a brown sugar and plum nose. Fruit forward flavors add a somewhat velvety body that is smooth, complex, and deep. Has a medium long finish. According to Will this wine is very typical of Napa Valley blends. I believe Will also said that he thinks this wine has already peaked and is starting to lose some of its fruit. So if you have some or get some, it might be time to drink it pretty soon. Grade: B+
