What better way to enjoy a finely preserved bottle of Merlot than with a homecooked meal? The lucky winner of this lot will receive Cakebread Cellars 2003 Napa Valley Merlot graciously donated by Sun Valley parents Cara & Joe Hunt. And, along with it, a generous donation directly from Cakebread Cellars - The Cakebread Cellars American Harvest Cookbook, a snazzy black Cakebread cook's apron and cap.

Wondering which recipe to make from this delectible cookbook? Well, here's a little something about the wine to help you decide...

Cakebread's 2003 Merlot leads with a complex, engaging aroma of ripe black cherry, blackberry and cassis fruit, with complementary tea-leaf, herbal spice and dark chocolate tones. The palate exhibits impressive weight and texture, with well-integrated tannins supporting mouthfilling, chocolate-tinged, black fruit flavors that turn slightly spicy in the long, rich finish.
