This is indeed a fine “how-do-you-do” to the wines of Morocco, as I confess a complete lack of experience with the country’s vintners. A fifty-fifty blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, it delivers the goods with mixed black and red fruit, earthy minerality, a gentle texture and solid finish push. Seems like a visit may be in order, based on how good this is. A Platinum Award winner at the 2021 Critics Challenge International Wine & Spirits Competition.
