Rich dark fruit, integrated oak, and refined tannins give it both immediate appeal and aging potential. Tasting Notes: Appearance: Deep ruby Nose: Black cherry, blackberry, cassis, cocoa, espresso, and a touch of tobacco Palate: Merlot-dominant fruit core supported by Cabernet Sauvignon structure; flavors of plum, dark chocolate, and spice; smooth, well-integrated tannins; balanced acidity Finish: Long, savory, with subtle cedar and mineral notes
