22 Merlot
A serendipitous encounter where jovial times from the past intertwine with the promise of future memories
This wine opens with a rich, expressive nose of black cherry, cassis, and blackberry syrup, intertwined with delicate rose petal. Subtle hints of cigar box, sawdust, and strawberry jam mingle with a mineral touch of wet shale. On the palate, bright cranberry and pomegranate take center stage, complemented by cola and dark chocolate undertones. The complex flavors mirror the nose, creating a harmonious and layered tasting experience.
