NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

Black Oak Merlot is a rich and full-bodied red wine with a deep garnet color.On the nose, it offers enticing aromas of ripe blackberries, plums, and dark chocolate, accompanied by hints of vanilla and spice. The palate is velvety and smooth, with flavors of black cherry, black currant, and a touch of oak. The tannins are well-integrated, providing structure and balance to the wine. The finish is long and lingering, leaving a pleasant impression of dark fruit and subtle oak notes.
