"75% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc. A darkly berried nose of lifted bitter cherry and liquorice. The palate is salty-mineral and fresh, with fine, chalky tannins framing the creamy red/black berry fruit and a spicy lift to the finish. Lots of energy and a brightness from the inclusion of some whole bunches. 14.1% abv.
