Môreson 1999 Merlot (Franschhoek)
-
$23
This delicate wine is well balanced, with fine tannins and an elegant sensory package. Lightly grilled meat, potting soil, cinnamon, vanilla and cherry aromas meet with toast, leather, cherry and dried herb flavors. —K.F.

Môreson 2003 Magia Red (Coastal Region)
-
$27
A Bordeaux blend, with 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Cabernet Franc and 24% Merlot, supposedly named because a passing Bulgarian described the wine as Magia (magical). In fact, it is in an elegant style, not hugely intense, but with good berry flavors, some herbal character and a sweet, juicy finish.
