Dry Red Blend-
Varieties: merlot 48.4%, Cabernet Sauvignon 35.9%,  Petit Verdot 6.8%  Cabernet Franc 5.1%, Shiraz 3.8%-
Wine Notes: This complex wine is characterized by its especially rich and full body. It possesses a deep red color with purple hues combined with black cherry, blackcurrant, ripe plums, violets, herbs with gentle hints of mint and oak. Its flavors display ripe black plums, mint and oak with nuances of dark chocolate. Its balanced acidity combines excellently with its smoky character derived from aging in French oak, leaving a long lasting finish on the palate. The substantial measure of astringency and acidity in the wine constitutes for an aging potential of the next five to ten years
