Vineyard Notes
78% Merlot from our oldest Merlot vines, planted in 1990 and 22% Cabernet Franc from Surrey Vineyards.
Winemaker Notes
Almost black with a dark red rim in color. Classic aromas of licorice, fine leather, nice toasted oak and dark ripe berries/cassis fill the glass. The mouth-feel is rich with concentrated lush round fruit notes and amazing layers of ripe soft tannins and well-integrated oak. The finish is long end elegant with a soft structure and great minerality. This is a concentrated yet classically balanced Merlot that can be aged and enjoyed for many years to come.
Food Pairing Notes
Serve slightly below room temperature. Pair this special wine with big flavors, such as lamb, steak, aged cheeses and good quality chocolate with a high percentage of cacao. Or enjoy it on its own…with no distractions.
