Decanted this one for an hour before drinking. With only a touch of smoky oak, this 80% Merlot/20% Cabernet Sauvignon is full of jammy strawberries and ripe blackberries, with mid-thick tannins and a velvet mineral finish. Made a great cocktail wine and my fiancée has a "velvet crush" on it. Thanks to Jonathan for the recommendation 🍷

So impressed with this wine. Reasonable but taste expensive. Great aroma taste of bitter cherry mixed with ripe sweet grapes. Maybe dark chocolate. Try it
