Wine profile
Blend: 57.5% Merlot, 37.5% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Petit Verdot.
Flavor Profile: Complex aromas of ripe blackcurrant, plum, and smoky cedar; silky tannins and a long finish.
Drinking Window: Now at its best. Before drinking, it is recommended to decant (open the bottle to let it breathe) for about 1 to 2 hours to allow the rich fruity aromas to fully develop. It pairs very well with red meat dishes such as steak or lamb chops.
