Thirsty Thursday - Keswick Vineyards 2006 Heritage Estate Reserve
May 21, 2009The Keswick Vineyards 2006 Heritage Estate Reserve is a Bordeaux style blend made from Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Keswick uses only the finest grapes in their Heritage Reserve. The berries are hand sorted by the winemaker to ensure a fine, high quality wine.
This wine has a beautiful dark ruby color. It is a full bodied wine smelling of black fruit and cedar. The flavors are similar. It is smooth on the tongue and not overly tannic. Tannins are what often make your mouth feel dried out when you drink red wine. Here, they give the wine structure and balance.
This is a wine that will age well. It is enjoyable on its own, but enhanced by food. My guest taster agrees that the Heritage would be perfect with a nice piece of grilled steak. Once again, Keswick puts forth a winner.
