Gourmets of Wine > Water into Wino: Uva Mira Merlot Cabernet Sauvignon 2005

[Water into Wino] After passing up a $60 red from Anwilka and a $40 red blend from Meinert, I found a $20 Merlot Cabernet blend from Uva Mira. With the stars aligned for a wallet-to-bottle connection - and by stars I mean a wine labeled as Stellenbosch, a decent score by Steve Tanzer and the importer being Michael Skurnik - I brought this bottle home.

On the palate it is mouth-filling, sweet and ripe, with a flood of tobacco and chocolate-tinged black fruit, swirling with smoky and exotic spices, and with a rich brambly depth.
