This dense and multifaceted Merlot-dominant (90%) blend was produced at the hands of the late Christine Valette. Full-bodied notes of blackberries, cassis, milk chocolate, and baking spice dominate the wine’s layered palate. Chewy tannins and bright acidity make this wine super for serving with red meats and roasted veggies. Drink now.

We defy any Merlot-hater to disavow this hedonistic feast for the senses, a wine you feel as much as smell or taste. It’ll rock you. Hard.
