Grand Vin Bordeaux Blend 2021
$115.00 / 750 ml
Mainly made from Merlot, the 2021 Grand Vin has a medium to deep garnet-purple color. Notes of black raspberries, mulberries, and fresh black cherries leap from the glass, leading to hints of dried Provence herbs, graphite, rose oil, and cardamom. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is surprisingly light on its feet and refreshing, offering finely grained tannins and bags of bright red and blackberry flavors, finishing with compelling purity.
