a blend of 60% merlot and 40% cabernet sauvignon, this has enticing aromas of black-skinned fruit, fresh violet, espresso and a whiff of cake spice. smooth and structured, the elegant palate delivers crushed raspberry, cassis, licorice and clove that follow through to the long finish. a backbone of polished fine-grained tannins and fresh acidity give it an age-worthy structure. drink 2019–2033.
