2011 The Rescuer

We pay homage to Pomerol on the Right Bank in Bordeaux with this extraordinary blend of 91 % Merlot, 6% Cabernet Sauvignon and 3% Cabernet Franc. Plush, luscious and incredibly rich, this luxurious wine offers subtle notes of blackberry, chocolate, plum and sage. The tannin structure is velvety smooth with a finish that seems to linger forever.
