2010 Ken Forrester Petit Cabernet-Merlot Tasting at Bottle King of Morris Plains, NJ

Stop by this Saturday, 2/11 from 12-2pm, to sample some 2010 Ken Forrester Petit Cabernet-Merlot. If you’ve never experienced a wine from South Africa, there is no better place to start then Ken Forrester. In fact, this delightful blend of Old World charm and modern winemaking skill was recently awarded Best Value Wine of the Year by Neal Martin of Robert Parker in his Memorable Wines of 2011!

“A blend of 65% Cabernet and 35% Merlot, the marvelous 2010 Petit Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot has a herbaceous, Cru Bourgeois-like nose but is fresh, well defined and full of energy. The palate is vibrant on the entry and embraces Old World freshness and vitality better than most Bordeaux! It has a delicious, crisp peppery fruit with a touch of cedar and graphite on the well-defined finish. The only thing “Petit” about this superb wine is the price. Drink now-2014.” Wine Advocate, 90 Points
