Enticing aromas lead into taste bud sensations of dark cherry plum, and a hint of black tea. The softer Merlot tannins are enhanced by the Cabernet Sauvignon, giving it strength without harshness or tannic profile. It pairs well with pork tenderloin in fig and plum sauce or duck breast with dark cherries in a merlot reduction. Age-worthy, this wine will develop nicely in the cellar.
