Breaux 2000 Merlot

Last night for dinner I had a Trader Joes Ultimate Burger ( a burger stuffed with bleu cheese and bacon ) with a fresh mixed lettuce salad with a Prince Michel Cabernet Franc vinaigrette. The burger was great though it was 630 calories with 460 from fat.

With it I enjoyed a Breaux 2000 Merlot ($24). It was garnet in color. The nose was that of a perfect Merlot; leather, oak and berries. Big on the fruit. The taste was perfect; rich with the perfect touch of oak with rich lingering berry fruit on the palate. The tannins/acid balance was perfect. A very enjoyable wine.
