Top Notes For

Sipping Fine Wine

9.5

Blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Petit Verdot, deep Ruby with aromas of ripe dark fruits, spice and floral notes. On the palate flavors of blackberry, plums and black cherry with toasty oak, cacao and espresso. Fine soft tannins, long finish ending with fruit, oak and spice. Still has room to age, but nice now!
