"A über-classic Bordeaux blend, elegant and juicy at the same time, and offering aromas of ripe berry and cherry, followed by notes of fresh spices and light toast. Finishes dry, with balanced acidity and firm tannins. Perfect for pastas with wild boar ragout, or roasted game." - Massanois importer

From the winery...

The aromas of blackberries go along with hints of cedar and forest from the one year of aging in French barriques of part of the wine. On the mouth, the balance between the fruity and round notes of the Merlot and the structure and tannins of the Cabernet Sauvignon.
