Sourced from the Médoc in Bordeaux, it offers the structure and character you’d expect from this historic region, with enough balance and charm to make it enjoyable now or after a few years in bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, it typically shows a deep ruby colour with youthful purple reflections. The nose leans toward blackcurrant, ripe plum, cedar, and subtle tobacco, with a touch of spice and earthy depth.\n\nOn the palate, Cabernet Sauvignon provides backbone and dark fruit, while Merlot adds roundness and softness, creating a wine with medium to full body, firm tannins, and good freshness. The finish is balanced and persistent, and while it can be appreciated in its youth, it should also develop nicely over the next several years, gaining more nuance and complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProduced in the Médoc, one of Bordeaux’s most respected red-wine areas, this blend reflects the region’s gravelly soils and temperate Atlantic influence, both of which favour Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. The grapes are typically harvested with an eye toward optimal ripeness, then vinified using traditional Bordeaux methods to preserve fruit purity, structure, and regional character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis wine pairs well with roast lamb, grilled beef, duck, mushroom dishes, and hard cheeses.
