This wine included Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Malbec. The colour was quite deep ruby red. The bouquet had berry vanilla, and light oak. There was plum and berry fruit, and it was quite soft, with a medium dry wood finish. The wine was a light-medium body, soft, fruity style.

Note 1: I am not really a wine expert (just an enthusiastic amateur), so please don't take my recommendations as anything more than a rough guide to these wines. I can take no responsibility if you buy a lot of this particular wine, on my recommendation, and then regret it!

Note 2: You may not fully agree with my evaluation of these wines, as a lot of this is quite subjective. I tend to put a lot of emphasis on complexity and intense characteristic and varietal flavours and bouquet, so if you disagree you might just have different priorities.
