Breaux had their open house this past weekend and i got to go out and sample some of their reserve wines. The winery was beautifully decorated for the season, including a fresh blanket of snow.
Bruce conducted the tasting in tank room. Breaux was showing off their Free Run Merlot, 2002 Cellar Club Meritage, 2006 Barrel Select Nebbiolo, a barrel sampling of the 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon and the newly released 2006 Meritage.
I've had barrel tastings of the 2006 Meritage over the last year and been very impressed. The wine is a blend of 38% Merlot, 24% Petit Verdot, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Malbec and 6% Cabernet Franc. The Petit Verdot adds a lot of great color to this wine. It is a full-bodied wine with lots of tannins and a long finish.
I'll post a more detailed review later.
