Kalaris Merlot 2013

Bright dark dusty ruby color. Lively, fruity, earthy funky aromas of ripe plums, fruitcake, cassis, and barnyard/old leather with a chewy, puckering, dry medium-to-full body and a peppery, delightful, brief finish with grippy, firm, leafy tannins and heavy oak.

Deep ruby red; aromas of sweet red and dark berries, spicy oak, red currant, fleshy plum and baking spice. Supple, with a long woodsy finish. Lovely presence and fine overall balance.
