Tasting note

As featured in Taste Magazine, Spring 2013. This fresh, fruit-forward Merlot has surprising weight and finishes with drying, savoury tannins. The nose shows aromas of plum, black cherry and blackberry along with cocoa, violet and vanilla notes. The palate is full and starts soft with blackberry, chocolate, ripe black cherry and custard notes before the savoury tannins kick in with leather, spice and graphite. Pair this wine with lamb braised with red wine.
