this wine is half merlot with the rest cabernet sauvignon (31%), cabernet franc (16%), petit verdot (2%) and malbec. it draws you into the glass with high-toned aromas of dried herbs, espresso, red and black fruit, along with floral notes. the palate is poised and polished, showing depth, texture and layering well beyond its weight class. it appeals on every level.
