Classic Merlot aromas and flavors of plum, currant, and violet are elevated by a light barrel signature of baking spices and toasted pastry. The addition of Malbec contributes notes of pomegranate and hibiscus; Cabernet Franc adds layers of cocoa and peppery spice. The wine’s mouthwatering palate transitions to a lingering black cherry finish. This versatile Merlot pairs well with grilled sausage or creamy spinach and tomato tortellini.

Dark red fruit, ample oak and lots of vanilla aromas show on the nose of this bottling. A light but persistent grip arises on the palate, where tart red cherry, coca, coffee bean and damp clay flavors align.

This has rich aromas of grilled plums, toast, sage, coffee beans and toffee. It’s full-bodied, plummy and toasty, with soft tannins. Drink now.
