smoky, earthy notes of licorice root, chicory, pepper and leather spice up the black plum, berry and cherry fruit in this blend of 42% merlot, 21% malbec, 16% cabernet franc, 12% cabernet sauvignon and 9% petit verdot. the mouthfeel is plush and filling, with generous yet structured tannins and ample acidity that frame the rich dark fruits. final flavors of cassis and char linger long on the finish.
