A wine that brings the best characteristic of Merlot and Cabernet at an affordable price. With rich fruit flavors and smooth tannins, this red wine is a fantastic choice. Tasting Notes:
Inviting raspberries and black cherries lead to aromas of coco powder and cedar. Sweet blackberry flavors marry with developed currant and black cherry notes. Integrated oak and round tannins create a balanced finish.
