Scents of wine-soaked prunes and Armagnac are tempting on this Merlot blend. Soft tannins and a crisp acidity frame a palate full of concentrated black cherry fruit flecked with tobacco and dried herbs.

While sweet on the nose with aromas of cherry vanilla and wet cedar, the palate on this medium-bodied blend is a bit soft and stewed with overripe red fruit and hints of tomato sauce. Easygoing and generous throughout, it ends with soft tannins and a mocha chocolate and graham cracker crumb finish.
