  Red with violet undertones. Very interesting nose with hints of black pepper, blackberries, tobacco and chocolate. Brilliant balance. Medium finish.

  medium garnet/purple
  nose: med+ tobacco, dark fruit, green wood, stalky
  palate: dry, acid is med and a bit strange, tannin is green, body is med+ alc is est 14, finish is somewhat green fruit ...
  
  fermented in stainless steel, aged in barrel, 100% french
  
  Style note: Somewhat of a green wine with strong flavors of tobacco, and dark fruit ... some bitter chocolate. The flavors work well together yet this is a one dimensional wine without much nuance.
  
  100% merlot
