It's the perfect marriage of two magnificent and distinctive grapes: cabernet merlot wines.

Both red gems are bursting with flavor and beauty, and they fill for each other's slight inadequacies with graceful ease. The cabernet is a bold, tannin-filled powerhouse, where merlot is a bit more timid, fruity, and supple.

Together, a fantastic mix can be more memorable than any other wines.

While cabernet sauvignon holds the title of the most cultivated grape, merlot is no stranger to the limelight.

In recent years, the lighter red grape has acquired more notoriety, no longer universally considered a lesser fruit.

Both offerings grant notes of cedar and cherry, with merlot kicking in a bit more alcoholic zing, and cabernet packing a bigger overall punch. When a high quality blend is produced, the resulting wines are deeply structured, complex, and rich beyond description.
