Description

Deep red with violet hues, this wine offers enticing aromas of Black Doris plum, blueberry, and light spice, with subtle hints of mocha and black forest cake. The palate is beautifully balanced, revealing layers of dark chocolate, mocha, spice, licorice, and olive notes. As it evolves in the glass, the complexity continues to unfold, making it a true wine lover's delight. A wine that just keeps giving—perfect for savoring now.
Hand plunged and crafted before an 18-month maturity in selected French Oak, this Reserve Merlot is fruit driven, full-bodied with fruit sweetness and an excellent tannin structure
