Dec 27th, 2017Plum and fresh red fruit flavours with a slightly spicy kick from its higher alcohol content. Balanced acidity and tannins and substantial body given its 80% merlot content. 10% cab franc gives it a slightly savoury and acidic kick that adds some complexity, very good value at relatively low price point
