The Wine: 2007 Melange Noir
The Price: $11.99 at QFC
Waterbrook Melange is a wine that I discovered several years ago, well before I started reviewing wine. And well before I even had more than the barest of interest in wine. I only discovered it at that time because of an article in the paper. In my mind, it was an outrageously priced wine at around $10, but I gave it a shot anyway. I haven't had it in ages, and I don't recall what it tasted like. So when I saw it in the store, I thought I should review it.
The wine is a blend of 43% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Cabernet Franc, 13% Sangiovese and1% Tempranillo. The bottle is stopped with a natural cork and the wine was decanted an hour before tasting.
The 2007 Melange is dark purple and has aromas of cedar, blackberry, prune and pepper.
The wine has flavors of blackberry, cherry and chocolate with a mild pepper finish. This wine is very good. The more I taste it, the more the flavor develops. It is an interesting and fun wine. This one will be in my rotation for sure!
