Description This “sophisticated Merlot" (The Real Review) from the brilliant Elena Brooks, boasts Gold, 92pts and a Great Value Star and is "rich and intense there is freshness that brings harmony and balance." (Gabrielle Poy, The Real Review). “Ripe red plum, mulberry and red cherry fruits with notes of fine spice, vanillin oak, earth, some drying meadow herbs, quince paste, licorice and purple flowers. Plush and plummy on the palate with a mulberry lift, fine, silty tannins for support and a chalky vibe as it slowly trails off. 92pts, Great Value” (Dave Brookes, The Halliday Wine Companion).
