Campuget's 1994 Merlot is an unfiltered, tank-fermented Merlot that emphasizes this varietal's black-cherry fruit character. The healthy dark ruby color is followed by a wine with gobs of sweet berry fruit, medium body, a soft, lush, generous palate, and a gutsy, heady finish. It is a delicious, richly fruity Merlot for drinking over the next 1-2 years. Chateau de Campuget has an enviable track record as a perennial crowd-pleaser.Importer: Robert Kacher Selections, Washington, DC; tel. (202) 832-9083. Both of these offerings are best buys.
