"This wine offers a smooth sensation, with notes of blueberry and blackberry, a hint of licorice, all sliding discreetly towards a medium-bodied finish. A seductive wine. " (Wine Spectator 2013 - James Molesworth / second label La Violette du Manoir) A touch of Cabernet Franc adds character to this almost 100% Merlot. This red wine has beautiful black fruit and roundness. Ready to drink now.
