TASTING NOTES

Though its name translates to "mountain," Bordeaux's Montagne-Saint-Émilion region features gently rolling hills, largely covered in Merlot vines. This full-bodied red delivers the characteristic rich notes of juicy dark fruits and licorice, with strong tannins that beg for a steak au poivre and baked potato. Give this wine some time to breathe to reveal additional layers of ripe fruit and subtle minerality.
