Predominantly merlot, this wine is rich vibrant and muscular all in one. Dark cherries, plum with some layers of spice. Strong tannins but lovely fruit to soften it out. Wish I had more.

Absolutely divine. The bouquet packs a punch, velvety smooth and full of luscious fruits.

Rich, smooth and full-bodied. Makes me want to wear velvet and listen to a saxophone.
