A classic 'Kim' wine -- a hearty Meritage blend, very full-bodied with nice firm tannins. The First Colony Meritage 2006 is a memorable wine, the kind of wine that you hate to open because you know it cannot be replaced. The first sips are full of bright red fruits, and the back of mouth flavors are toasty, warm and nutty. The blend includes Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petit Verdot.

... and yet also a great 'Jason' wine. Deep ruby color.

Nice plum nose, with a lil bit of woodchip. Smooth juicy taste on the front. Lil blueberry. Long peppery finish.

Great wine.
