    Veraison 2005 Krupp Vineyard Merlot (Atlas Peak)

    This is a soft, densely layered Merlot that has a touch of rusticity. The cherry and currant flavors have an oak-inspired edge of smoky, dark chocolate, and the finish is dry. Considering the hefty tannins, it could develop additional bottle complexities for a few years.
