Medium brick in color, this wine is blended of 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Sauvignon. It gives some interesting iodine, dried plum, leather and tobacco aromas. Medium bodied in the mouth, it has peaked in maturity yet is still drinking well with some earthy / meaty flavors clinging to the medium level of chewy tannins and enlivened with high acidity. The finish is long.
