Wine Description
This Cabernet Merlot is a luscious ruby-red delight. Its dark, fruity nose combines blackberry, cassis, and plum with subtle cedar oak and herbal notes. The palate is full-bodied, velvety, and rich in dark fruit, predominantly blackcurrant and plum, with a hint of herbs. Firm tannins and a lasting finish complete this wine, perfect for any occasion.
