Nose
Our 2012 Merriment shows expressive notes of ripe, red berry fruits, dried herbs and cassis on the vibrant nose. With a little time in the glass, hints of dark plum, violets and cedar will surprise and delight your senses.
Palate
The mouth-feel is elegant, where bright fruit and toasty oak marry beautifully. Bright acidity rounds off the mouth-feel and endures for a long lingering finish through luscious layers of intense fruit
