Cherry-black hue; Complex aromas of ripe cherries, black spices, fresh figs, ground vanilla bean, rosewater, dried herbs and sweet pipe tobacco. The palate presents an overwhelming abundance of flavors including crème de cassis, dried cranberries, black berries, cherry kirsch, and lightly infused truffle oil. This is a dense and brooding Merlot that displays a fi ne and persistent finish with a hint of tarriness. Best served with roasted leg of lamb, veal ragout and venison sausages. Enjoy now through 2018.
