"Opens with a harsh, rough nose that settles with airing. The palate is tangy and raised by zesty acidity, while the flavors rest on searing raspberry and red plum. Shows a lean personality but too much bite and scour for Merlot."

"Piercing aromas of bramble and herbs give it a slightly rustic bouquet. The mouth is forward and packs punch, with cherry and raspberry fruit. The finish is tight and dry, but it doesn't turn hard. Aging in used Chardonnay barrels keeps the oak element in check."
