Nose
has rich black cherry fruit aromas, with hints of
eucalyptus and oak.
Palate
Addition of Syrah brings depth of fruit to the nose and palate,
while the addition of Clone 6 Cabernet sauvignon adds structure to the finish. Soft
tannins balance well with good fruit acidity and concentrated fruit flavors to yield a
wine that will develop well with several years of aging. A rich, concentrated, fullbodied
Merlot with a lingering finish and supple mouthfeel.
