2001 Mary Kathleen Merlot/Cabernet

The dark ruby/purple-tinged 2001 Cabernet/Merlot Mary Kathleen (85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Merlot) exhibits a dusty, earthy nose with black cherries, plums, and currants as well as a touch of oak. Medium-bodied, with little depth, it is a pleasant, Bordeaux-styled red to drink over the next 5-7 years. Oct 2005, www.robertparker.com
