Description

Primarily Merlot, with a touch of Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec and Petit Verdot, this Bordeaux blend shows intricate layers of black cherry, plum, currant, and wild berry, mingled with a hint of spice. Soft, delicate, elegant tannins carry these aromas and flavors to a silky, lasting finish. Perfect for pairing with flatbread pizza for a cozy night at home.
