description: Included is a portion (10%) of Seven Hills Merlot; it's a wine that opens up immediately with pretty fruit and floral scents, some spicy highlights, and an intriguing darker streak. There's toasted grain character that comes from the vines, not the barrels, explains winemaker Rich Funk. The wine is supple and balanced, and the bright berry and cassis flavors are nicely counterpointed with streaks of toast, caramel and chocolate.
variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
