A stunning Merlot, combining 5% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet Franc, this wine has cherry tomato, dill and red cherry on the perfumed nose. Flavors of black cherry, anise, and blackberry jam resonate on the opulent palate backed by a dense mouthfeel, which leads to a long and lingering finish. Overall, an incredible wine and one of the most compelling Merlot's I’ve tasted this year. (Best 2015-2030) - September, 2015 (OB)
