A blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% each Merlot and Malbec and 2% Petit Verdot, the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot shows a fine, perfumed character, with scents of bay leaf and sage joining ripe cherries, dusty oak and a hint of espresso. It's medium to full-bodied and smooth and velvety in feel, with just enough tannin to impart a dry, savory edge to the finish. Drink it over the next 6-7 years.
