Merlot is the money grape in this delicious blend of Rhone Valley and Bordeaux inspired wines. And it’s lovely, rich, ripe plum that delivers the inviting nose, followed by a layered palate of black and red fruits and supple tannins. The finish is long and inviting. This is a serious crowd-pleaser at a modest price. Besides Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Carignan and Syrah complete the blend.
