Black tea leaf, ripe French plums and aromatic bay laurel greet the nose with more subtle notes of dried currants, cola and white pepper. Youthful, bright mouth feel with predominant flavors of ripe plum, black tea and spices. This wine has a fruity, full bodied structure with dusty tannins. Finishing with a wonderful mocha characteristic. This is a power house Merlot. Pair this wine with a juicy cut of prime rib roast, garlic mashed potatoes and green beans, black eye peas cooked with a ham hock, sundried tomatoes and kalamata olives or even with dark chocolate truffles for dessert.
