Koh-I-Noor Merlot, 2017

Cassiopia and Koh-I-Noor brands are high-end wines created by combining the classical Bordeaux style winemaking techniques with the innovative new-world winemaking strategies. The major difference between Cassiopeia and Koh-I-Noor is that Koh-I-Noor is an “ultimate” selection among the already carefully picked Cassiopia-quality batches. Koh-I-Noor will be made only if the winemaker finds some barrels with clearly different extraordinary features. These brands are produced only in perfect vintages.
