Opens up fairly quick with an earthy nose of rosemary, tobacco, wet leaves. Certainly a traditional approach to winemaking. Elegant and soft tannins.

Predominantly merlot, this wine is rich vibrant and muscular all in one. Dark cherries, plum with some layers of spice. Strong tannins but lovely fruit to soften it out. Wish I had more.

Notes of blackberry, a complicated wine with earthy tones. Some black currants, with higher tannins and some depth. Leaves a nice taste follow through.
