TASTING NOTE: All the Triomphe red wines are wild fermented with 100% French oak (in a combination of new and used barrels) aging for 18 months with the grapes sourced from the estate and trusted organic growers. The Merlot is highly aromatic on the nose with pure red berries, cassis, anise and fine oak spices. The palate reveals good concentration of red and dark berries, with earthy notes, spice and some structure on the vibrant, long finish. Can cellar through 2032.
