Blend of 86% Merlot, 11% Cabernet Franc and 3% Cabernet Sauvignon, deep Ruby with aromas of berry fruit, herb, vanilla and earthy notes. On the palate flavors of blackberry and cherry fruits, herb spices and earthy notes. Fine tannins, opened nicely, long finish ending with notes of berry fruits cacao, vanilla and earthy oak spice. Nice, will age well!!

All time favorite red blend. Blackberry, dark cherry, some tobacco, jammy and inky. Perfect with a ribeye

A favorite wine from a favorite winery. Great with a ribeye off the grill. Lots of dark fruit, plum, bing cherry, spice box, hint of vanilla and oak.

Raspberry and Strawberry with a bit of jamminess and smoke. Smooth with a bit of palate.
