Predominant notes of red fruit and spices. On the palate, the bouquet's fruity promise is confirmed, supplemented by soft tannins, resulting in a supple, well-rounded finish.

This recently created Merlot-Tannat blend is already arousing considerable interest. It goes very well with charcuterie, fairly young cheeses, Bigorre "Black Pork", chicken casserole, grilled red meat, roasted poultry, marinated meat cooked on a flat-top grill.

Alain’s vineyards will have the increasingly-accepted HVE sustainability certification as of the 2017 vintages. They use organic treatments to minimize pests. The grass is planted in alternating rows, mixed with an abundance of other greens and flowers (and even wild strawberries!), to help with aerations and to add nitrogen to the soil. The winery prefers to protect against mildew using biocontrol methods rather than copper treatments.

Staff Review:

Great blend of Merlot and Tannat. New world ripe dark fruit up front with an old-world finish. Great with the cheese, gouda, and dinner from The Market!
