Not sure why this bottle identified as a Merlot. Label clearly says Cab. Vegetal nose, dry and oaky on the tongue.

A lighter version of quirky varietal. Fruit forward with hints of chocolate red berry and cardamom.

Dark and a bit closed, but really well put together. Tannins are present, but forgiving.
