From the winery:
The 2009 vintage reds are showing excellent quality and ripeness at slightly lower alcohol levels. Our 2009 Starmont Cabernet Sauvignon is approachable now and should be consumed within 8 years of the vintage. - See more at: http://www.merryvale.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=winedetails.displaywinetype&WineTypeID=3#sthash.lGKEBOvR.dpuf
Color: dark red with good density
Aroma: sweet red and black currants, brambly blackberry jam, black olive, dried herbs and violets
Taste: soft entry, round with medium weight, toasty oak notes, and very good length - See more at: http://www.merryvale.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=winedetails.displaywinetype&WineTypeID=3#sthash.lGKEBOvR.dpuf
