# Edge Hill Abel 1833 Mount Veeder 2015 Tasting Note This **Merlot-based red blend** displays striking depth with a dark, brooding character in the glass. The bouquet reveals inviting black fruit aromatics—black cherry liqueur, ripe plum, and cassis—layered with notes of chocolate, mocha, and warming baking spices like cinnamon and clove.

On the palate, the wine shows excellent structure and balance, with refined tannins and a clean, lingering finish. The complexity and polish suggest careful winemaking from Edge Hill’s Mt. Veeder vineyard. This is a wine that drinks beautifully now while maintaining the backbone for continued development over the next several years. Pair with grilled beef, herb-crusted lamb, or rich mushroom-based dishes.
