The Cab Sauv-Merlot yielded more interesting comments – along with a pleasant fruity nose upon first snort, we discovered something even more interesting upon repeated swirling and sniffing: “HP Sauce” – was the way one panel member described the peppery-spicy smell, which suddenly had us all dreaming of steaks and burgers hot off the grill. A hint of tannin made for a nice easy drinking wine, which is best described as smooth, while the dryness in the finish made us once again crave something from the BBQ.
