A Merlot, Shiraz and Petit Verdot blend creates a fruity, round, and rich red wine full of red fruit flavors such as raspberry, cassis, cherries and strawberries. The Petit Verdot adds tannin, color and flavor; the purple- colored Merlot is full in body, with velvety tannins and hints of plum and blackberry. Together with the juiciness of the Shiraz, it creates a rich, beautiful wine.
