1995 LOCKWOOD Merlot, Monterey
  
Beautiful
aromas of sweet, dark berries, creamy vanilla, and chocolate, signatures
of Merlot at its best, abound in this inky, dark burgundy California
red. On the attack it imparts a soft, luscious mouthfeel, bringing
flavors of blackberries, vanilla and chocolate. Yet, with all its
suppleness, it shows nice bracing acidity. And then, a pronounced
creamy vanilla finish. Wonderful! It's tannins are soft, but the
palate is left with a tweak of residual bitter oak. But, who
cares?!? Sip this lovely with some imported chocolate...divine!
