Lovely, pretty fruit to this with a medium to full body and round tannins that fold nicely into the wine. It's rich and layered. 90% merlot and 10% cabernet franc.

Deep purple-black colored, it sashays out of the glass with open-knit, showy scents of fresh black cherries, black raspberries and plum preserves, plus hints of allspice, potpourri and dusty soil. The medium-bodied palate is soft, juicy and refreshing, delivering loads of spicy sparks on the finish.
