2013 Axios Wine Kalaris Merlot, Napa Valley, USA (750 ml)

WINEMAKER’S NOTES:

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.
