Deep crimson to purple. The aromas display excellent regional and varietal characters of berry and spice. These scents follow through with rich cherry and plum flavors, a hint of chocolate and a subtle touch of oak. The flavors develop well and finish with a long finely textured mouth feel. The Cabernet Sauvignon provides depth and cellaring potential. The Merlot in this well-balanced blend softens the palate to ensure this wine is enjoyable to drink immediately.
