Made from Merlot grapes and in part matured in truncated cone oak vats and the rest for 20 months in barriques. The color is a distinct ruby with violet reflections while the aroma has notes of blackberry, cherry and ripe prune. The fresh and intriguing mouthfeel echoes the bouquet and is saline with tannins that are hardly noticeable and a long, fruity aftertaste.
