This Clos du Val Merlot is a medium-bodied wine, with lively aromas of ripe, juicy plums and hints of blackberry, blueberry and cedar.On the palate, it is round and supple, with a hint of spice and a pleasant, lingering finish. It is an elegant, approachable wine with a good balance between fruit, tannins and acidity. Enjoy it now or cellar for a few years to let the flavors develop further.
