WINEMAKER'S NOTE
Deep violet-ruby-red, this Merlot is a very fruity wine with aromas of plums, blackberries, and black currant accompanied by intense notes of caramel, chocolate, and vanilla. It has soft, ripe tannins that lend good structure and balance on the palate.

    Unmistakable vanilla and chocolate notes that highlight from the black fruit aromas. Deep soft, ripe tannins with a fruit and persistent finish.
