This new creation, which blends ami love with heritage, is Merlot based 64% and backed by Syrah 19%, Cabernet Franc 7%, Malbec 5% and Cabernet Sauvignon. Theres much to enjoy, starting with sweet aromas of black cherry, Nutella, alder smoke, sassafras and bay rum. The palate is very fruit-forward and shows remarkable juiciness, hinting at blueberries, cherries and huckleberries with almost hidden tannin. Fire up the barbecue, and theres no need for a short pour. 89 Pts
