"This elegantly structured blend of 73% Merlot, 21% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 6% Petit Verdot unveils a deep ruby-blue core that fades into a delicate red-tinged rim. The nose is vibrant and inviting, offering layers of candied red cherries, cherry liqueur, and tangerine zest, interwoven with warm holiday spices, dried violets, and fresh rose petals. Silky, fine-grained tannins glide across the palate, supported by a moderate-plus acidity that keeps the wine fresh and lifted. Juicy red and black fruits dominate the long, lingering finish, where a hint of bitter herbs adds intrigue and balance." - Jeremy Young
