Winemaker Notes
Merlot often fails to command the attention of Cabernet Sauvignon, its regular blending partner from Bordeaux. But great Merlot is a powerful and hedonistic experience that serves as a reminder as to the inherent nobility of a grape that is sometimes unfairly maligned. This spectacular cuvée, hailing from the extremely flavorful 2020 vintage, saw our Merlot grapes develop a bold and ripe character that is sure to delight fans of opulent and age-worthy red wines. This power is one of the reasons we chose to cellar this wine for more than two years before release, to give it time to achieve the extraordinary balance of elegance and potency we are so proud to share with you.
Food Pairing Notes
Ready and willing to delight your dinner guests when served with a duck cassoulet.
