Tasting Notes
This Cabernet and Merlot blend is fresh and vibrant, with notes of blackberries, fig, black pepper, and dried mushrooms. The palate is rich, with characteristics of black currant, elderberries, dark chocolate, and eucalyptus, leading to a soft and long finish while showing off its immense but silky tannic structure. This is an elegant and approachable wine that has the strength to age for many years.
