Tasting note
Elegant, restrained Californian Merlot, brimming with blackcurrant, black cherries and plums, the nose a fragrant mix of toasty oak, vanilla spice and woodsmoke.
Viticulture
Organically farmed in a Mediterranean Climate.
Vinification
Parcels of Merlot were fermented separately and underwent full malolactic fermentation before being combined to create the final blend. Aged for 12 months in 45% new oak and 55% previously used oak.
Food Match
Great on its own or when paired with barbecued meats such as Italian-style sausages with a rich tomato sauce.
