DRY RED WINE
Product weight 750 ml
DESCRIPTION A unique blend of 67% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Merlot, 8% Malbec and 8% Petit Verdot. The varieties were aged separately for 15 months in new French oak barrels before the blend was created. The wine is deep red in color and boasts a black berry aroma that combines beautifully with the aroma of oak, and dominant fruity flavors. It is an elegant wine with an interesting complexity and a long finish.
