Vintage Cellar Review: 40% Teroldego, 30% Lagrein, 30% Merlot aged in small oak barrels for 12 months, then further refined in bottle before release. Deep ruby red Dark cherry, plum and blackberry aromas combine with intriguing spicy notes. Rich, concentrated dark fruit character against powerful yet silky tannins and bright acidity. Excellent structure, with a distinctive freshness to the fruit that creates and elegant profile.

My Review: I love this wine! I am a huge fan of many different Merlots, but this one brings something new to the table. The mixture of the different varieties of wine provides for a delicious palate. This is a wine I could drink with every meal.

I did not taste this wine with food.
