The 2016 Marojallia is a blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Merlot aged in 100% new French oak barrels. Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, it has a peppery nose with a core of red and black currants, cedar chest, tobacco and a waft of smoked meats. Medium to full-bodied and softly textured, with a well-sustained mid-palate, the finish is refreshing with bags of spice-laced fruit and great length. Nearly 750 cases were made.
