89% Merlot, 11% Cabernet Franc 100% destemmed. Fermented in closed-top stainless steel tanks. Matured in oak barriques for 17 months.
Dark garnet with vibrant purple hues. Seductive aromas of ripe plus, cassis, nutmeg, tobacco and sandalwood reflects beautifully ripe Merlot. The palate is at first rich and full bodied and then finishes with wonderful graphite-like tannins, fine acidity and a long tapering dry finish Cellar 5 to 15 years from vintage.
