Merlot has the weight of a Cabernet Sauvignon
Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and a Claret blend dominate their fine
reputation, though they also produce small commercial amounts of South
Africa's Pinotage and Italy's Sangiovese. It is Cabernet Sauvignon's
blood brother, as evidenced by its ubiquitous presence in Bordeaux
blends.

Sprucing up for wines night
For OTBN 5, Mr. Whaley, who is now a CPA, opened "the first bottle that
got me interested in wine: a 1971 Mirassou Cabernet Sauvignon. To my
surprise, it was still drinkable after surviving a divorce move and two
moves precipitated by two airline bankruptcies." In each of the past
two years, he opened a bottle of 1976 Chateau St. Jean Cabernet
Sauvignon that he'd purchased at the winery many years ago.

Tim says differentiates it from Robert Mondavi Reserve Cabernet
Sauvignon and Opus One wines made from the same vineyards.
