Sample
A blend of Merlot, Malbec and Cabernet Franc.
A nose that is more about cured meats, dusty cedar wood and undergrowth than fruit, fruit comes in the form of blackberry and plum; but not the main event. The wine continues its savoury, brine and olive flow with open tannins and gentle wood spice set against fine but drying acidity. The finish sees a build of grainier tannins that take on earth and charcuterie with a wash of plum fruit that is moving towards a secondary, integrated place.
