Aromas of smoke and raspberry with a depth and concentration one would not believe, makes this world class Merlot a great value. On the palate, the density and boldness of the fruit carry past the medium big tannins and rich spicy oak, which helps accent the nutmeg, spice of the grape and makes this wine balanced throughout its entire range. Drinkable now, but will age for four to five years. Open 1 to 2 hours before serving. 2550 cases produced.
