The No.17 Merlot Cabernet Franc is a beautifully composed wine balancing fruit and savouriness. The nose is dominated by dark berry fruits with undertones of dried herbs. The palate is dense yet refined showing beautiful berry fruits and earthy notes. No.17 is persistent and finishes with supple fruit tannins.
