Tasting Notes
“Plush and focused, this merlot dominant blend is 100% estate fruit. Fresh cherries, star anise, orange peel, cassis, peppery damson plums and mulling spices steal the show on the nose and then the palate comes in with its assertive, fresh, mouthwatering acidity backed by dark fruit, slate minerality, ripe tannins, and a long finish. Enjoy over the next 15+ years.” – Chris Upchurch
