A merlot for cab drinkers. Dense dark core of chocolate, coffee beans and ripe plum wrapped in rich velvety tannins. Neither flabby nor one note, this has got some muscle and depth while retaining that approachable softness

I don't really drink many merlots, but this was quite drinkable.

Opened up nicely in the decanter. Paired well with steak. It’s bold, smooth, and full of flavor.
