Nose
Hints of black pepper, cocoa and sage; the aromas are reminiscent of red cherry, black olive and black plum with pretty, floral rose petal, lilac and lavender notes.
Palate
On the palate the wine is richly flavored with dark, blueberry muffin and sweet, red berry fruit balanced by refreshing acidity. The finish is soft but becomes more powerful as the flavors dissipate leaving a solid core of ripe tannins, and a very pleasant, lingering impression of dark fruit. A soft wine with the rich currant, blackberry and herbal flavors that characterize the world-class Merlots. It has a lingering earthy finish, with intriguing notes of cedar and sage.
