From an exceptional vintage, this wine is a blend of 90% Merlot with 5% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet. It was aged 22 months in French oak prior to bottling. This intense and inviting wine has aromas of blackberry, cassis, blueberry and anise. The Merlot drinks like a Cabernet. It has flavors of blackberry, mocha and anise with a vibrant minerality throughout. This ageworthy Merlot has incredible weight and structure. It is impossible to resist right now.
