Velvet in taste and color, first foray into Georgian wines but not the last!

Oak and wood on the nose. Light fruit, crisp with a hint of plum and has a velvety, merlot-style finish. A little thin and sharp for my taste, but structurally solid.

Robust and spicy on the nose, full-bodied with a dry finish. Wood, chalk, and leather notes.

The taste is full and fruity, with silky tannins and long finish. Appealing aromas of cherry, black currant, prune and blackberry combine with some floral notes of pepper.

50-50 Saperavi and Merlot blend. Silky tannins, cherry and black currant, gently finishing with green pepper and menthol. Good with aged cheese.
