General

Tasting Notes:This complex Merlot impresses with its pleasant fruit character. Fine aromas of vanilla meld gently with touches of black cherry, chocolate and mint. This is a very distinctive Merlot with a well-balanced tannine structure. Having aged in oak barrels for at least 12 months, this wine has developed a highly refined character. Goes well with a juicy roast beef and yellow and mature cheeses.
