Bedell 2005 Reserve Merlot (North Fork of Long Island)

Country: US / Reserve
Variety: Merlot New York
Winery: Bedell / North Fork of Long Island

Bedell continues to raise the bar for Long Island Merlot with this offering. A rich, savory nose of meat, leather spice and dark berry leads into a poised balance of savory spice, rich fruit, acids and tannins. The wine has a friendly brightness about it but overall, is restrained and integrated.
