Top Notes For
Sipping Fine Wine

Blend of mostly Merlot with a splash of Malbec, aged for 19 months in French oak (35% new), deep Ruby with aromas of ripe black fruits, spice and sweet notes. On the palate flavors of blackberry, black cherry and currants with cinnamon spice, oak and cacao notes. Fine tannins, long finish ending with fruit, herb, cinnamon and oak. Tasting well now, good for another 5+ years in cellar.
