William Grassie Wine Estates 2013 Imperatrice


Big, bold and complex, this Bordeaux blend of 71% Merlot, 18% Cabernet Sauvignon and 11% Cabernet Franc shows ripe fruit but keeps it balanced with herbal, spicy and earthy notes. It's rich and complex on the nose with bold aromas of dark berry cobbler mixing with aromatic cedar, menthol, cocoa, pipe tobacco and clove spice. Flavors of black cherry and blueberry mingle with cola, then earthy notes of violet and graphite on a dry, but juicy and spicy finish.
