A wonderfully rich blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc, it opens with aromas of vanilla, chocolate and leather. On the palate, there are flavours of plum and black currant with a
touch of cloves accented by Hungarian oak shavings which are
enhanced by fermenting over Cabernet- Merlot GenuWine Winery Dried
Grape Skins. The long, ripe tannins add to the wine’s complexity. An
elegantly balanced wine ready to drink quickly but enough firmness
for cellaring. Keep this wine on hand for BBQs and picnics.
