| Stalwart and well-constructed, this is one righteous battleship of a Merlot. You might mistake it for a Cabernet, with its stout and finely-boned structure, along with its unflinchingly firm, yet highly polished tannins. Beginning with aromas of briar patch, flint, tobacco and a whiff of cigarillo, this wine is a gracefully arching plunge off the high dive into the deep end of the Bordeaux pool. Gorgeous flavors of cherry tobacco, cedar incense, cinnamon raspberry tea and a meaty undertone of lightly peppered carpaccio, make this a wine you could cellar for years.
