Plum, redcurrant, black cherry, tobacco and a whiff of truffle on the slightly syrupy nose. Soft, round and sweet; lovely plush merlot with varietally expressive flavors of redcurrant, tobacco, graphite and mint.

TYPE

Red Wine, Merlot

The Merlot grape is such a deep blue that it is named for the blackbird. It’s an early ripening grape and one of the primary varietals used In Bordeaux. Merlot is also grown in the "International style," which is harvested later to bring out more tannins and body.
