  Nose: smooth, velvety, dark fruit,
  Taste: some light tannins in the beginning, jammy dark fruit, with some minerals. A little complex and good.

  Popped and poured . Vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, blackberry on the nose. Rich on the palate without being overly tannic . Balanced, but not high acid or high tannins. Merlot spice comes through. Respectable finish.

  The wine is blueberry and baking spice and velvety. Merlot wine for sure but of branch which is more than just one grape. The wine has blackberry fruit, some cedar wood and asphalt. Finish includes chocolate, white pepper and remains velvety through to the lingering finish.
  
  This is well produced and at nearly 50/50 Merlot & Cabernet, a little very wine which is hard to dislike.
