Winemaker Jean-Michel Jussiaume Notes
This wine is comprised of five traditional Bordeaux varietals; Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Lush, fruit-forward Merlot is combined with Cabernet Sauvignon, giving the wine structure and depth. Malbec balances the wine and contributes dark spices and floral notes. The Cabernet Franc adds to the herbal characteristics, and the Petit Verdot seasons the blend with spices. The marriage of these noble grapes has resulted in a complex and layered wine.
