Rocky Pond 2017 La Domestique Reserve 750ml

One of our personal favorites, this Merlot based red blend features some of the finest estate-grown Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Malbec from our Double D Estate Vineyard

Tasting Notes

Medium to deep ruby in color, the wine greets you with aromas of red currant and cedar, under those initial aromas notes of anise and mocha are discovered.  On the palate, warm notes of cherry and cola move to almond paste and graham cracker.  The elegant, fine-grained tannins hold on for length and morph into a baking spice finish long after your sip.  Pair with meats or portabella mushrooms with caramelized onions off the grill or a traditional cassoulet. 

Vineyard Notes
