2008 The Dogwalk Cabernet Merlot has a medium-deep garnet-purple color and notes of warm black currant and kirsch with hints of dusty earth, powdered cinnamon and Mediterranean herbs. Medium-full bodied with medium-firm slightly astringent tannins, it presents good concentration, high acid and a long finish. Drink it now to 2015.
