2014 Kathryn Kennedy LATERAL Meritage

2014 vintage: Darkest Lateral in recent years. Alluring and expressive nose of smashed black cherries, pencil lead, warm earth aromas that feature hints of spices such as cedar wood box, dried rose petals and mint candy.
Rich black cherry in the mouth. This wine has that “wow factor” with deep, rich and complex fruit flavors and a smooth satisfying texture with a lower tannin leading to a lithe and silky finish. Begs for “big boy” food pairing without a need for cellaring. 65% Merlot 35% Cabernet Franc
