Our merlot is of a deep burgundy color with a predominant bouquet of ripe red berries and hints of spices with a violet undertone. The initial sip is smooth yet as it makes its way through the palate you will realize that this is a full bodied long finish wine. A little confusing at first it will disclose all its well kept secrets on the first sip. The body is well balanced and enhanced by the right amount of oak and not overpowered by it.
