Merlot, 2017

Deep ruby-coloured wine. Initially a bit reserved, but with time it reveals notes of forest fruits, wild raspberries, dried strawberries, cocoa powder, vanilla, and toast. On the palate, it presents as a full-bodied wine, more than medium-bodied, displaying masculinity without being overly tannic. It is full-bodied, deep, and concentrated. Rich flavors of blackberry, black plum, blueberry, vanilla, smoke, and a hint of bitterness shape its profile. A persistent finish.
