Merlo 61%, Cabernet Sauvignon 20%, Cabernet Franc 16%, Sangiovese 2% and Petite Verdot 1%. This was chalk full of of that funky Euro bret on the nose and palate straight up barnyard old leather wet horse and dirtiness. Takes me back.

It's a complex little number, with a nose that kicks off some menthol, dense wood, licorice, and a touch of coal. On the body, more fruit comes trough, notes of blackberry and currant emerge, plus a backbone of dark chocolate and a bit of coffee grounds. Some fresh tobacco leaf pops in on the finish. A restrained wine, but one with a lot of charm.
