Tasting Notes

Bright ruby colour. The nose is plummy and rounded, very typical of perfectly ripe Merlot. There are hints of spice and a touch of iron filings that give the wine a sense of place. The palate is rounded, with silky tannins a seductive red fruit at the core. This is a spicy and juicy, open-knit example that is already approachable. Plump and generous to the finish. Drink now, or over the next 5-8 years.
