Made from mostly Merlot, with a smaller amount of Cabernet Franc, the 2017 La Mauriane is brought up in 70% new barrels, with the balance in demi-muids. This inky-colored effort offers an exotic bouquet of black and blue fruits, violets, and spice. It's elegant, medium to full-bodied, has beautiful fruit, and fine tannin, all making for a beautifully balanced, delicious Merlot that will keep for 8-10 years.
