What to Expect
Merlot has gotten a bad rap as of late but there is no denying the wine's appeal. Packed with deep, dark berry fruit and nuanced hints of cocoa, herb and earth with a soft structure. Its velvety texture makes Merlot instantly appealing and an obvious alternative to similar, more tannic Bordeaux varieties.
Winemakers Notes
“Pretty and intriguing”
This luscious wine has open and seductive aromatics which are redolent of red plums and black raspberries, with a distinctive spicy note and floral undertones. Oak characters are subtle and primarily expressed with vanilla notes. “Fruit” fragrance is dominant.
Entry onto the palate is soft, with velvet tannins up front, lovely, bright red fruit flavors; good concentration and weight on the mid palate, with tannins increasing and sweetness coming up at the same time. The tannins are firm in the finish, balanced by the fruit and fruit sweetness. read more...

Reviews Add a Review
Series M. This wine is more Merlot based; still a blend, but using the Merlot, and Malbec with Cabernet to give it some backbone. It is more supple, more fruit forward; with silky texture in the mouth, good length, and very approachable and succulent. Merlot 41% Malbec 16% Cabernet Sauvignon 39% Cabernet Franc 4%
