Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2012 Cabernet Merlot presents a spicy nose of cinnamon toast, cloves and pepper over a core of blackberries and blueberries plus a whiff of cedar. Medium to full-bodied with a good concentration of black fruit and spice box flavors, it offers crisp acid, a medium to firm level of grainy tannins and a long finish. Approachable now, it should drink best 2014 to 2018+. No known USA importer.
