Wow. For the price this wine over delivers. Black fruit, leather notes, smoky. Depth and soft tannins. Light body but extremely pleasant.

Very inviting and approachable. This Merlot dominant wine is very easy drinking and riddled with ripe fruit and spices. Undertones of the rounded richness from the oak compliment the lasting but not overbearing finish. Love it!

Leather and clay on the nose.

Strong tannins with juice up front. Tart red fruit with clay on the finish. Some peppercorn.

Overall, I like it. Works well with hearty meals.

Primarily Merlot blended with a bit of Cabernet Franc. Intense aromas of black cherry/currants and asphalt. Hint of roasted nuts. The pallet also features dark fruit flavors with notes of dark chocolate, coffee and spicy oak. Lots of acidity and power. Deep and brooding. Well balanced alcohol and tannins.
