Top Notes For
Sipping Fine Wine

Blend of 90% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Sauvignon, 1% Malbec & 1% Petit Verdot, deep Ruby with aromas of berry fruits and toasty herb spice. On the palate flavors of cherry and blueberry with vanilla spice, espresso and toasty herb notes. Fine tannins, medium+ finish ending with toasty earthy spice character. Nice!

This wine has an interesting history. Please read the pro ratings. It was rather pricey and in my opinion - not great value for money. Yes, highly drinkable. Went well with faro, asparagus parm risotto and some filet tips. Everyone enjoyed. Somewhat fruit forward, somewhat juicy, deep red color - fine and everyone enjoyed it. However, you can definitely find something better at the price point that would satisfy and pair with food equally well if not better. Don’t mean to knock it - since I have 2 bottles remaining - but meh!
