The blend on this wine is different each vintage but the results always seems to be the same, which is a thing of beauty. This year’s cuvee is predominantly merlot, with bits of cabernet sauvignon and malbec. It’s a meaty, juicy red that offers supple tannins for a smooth ride as you enjoy the bold red and black fruit nuances, complemented with a generous helping of wood spice and smoke.
