    This impressive, pure Merlot offers plenty of grip and concentration. Black-cherry fruit and dark chocolate, espresso and fine-grained tannins are all in play. The structure, length and polish make this a standout, especially at this price.

    The winery is perhaps best known for its Merlots, here done in an overtly oaky style. Chewy, woody and quite astringent, the tannins lead, with dried berry and dark chocolate also in the mix. Fine for everyday drinking with your favorite cut of beef.
