A standout value from Graves, this blend of 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Sauvignon shows off precision winemaking and impressive depth. Rich layers of red cherry, blackcurrant, oak spice, and fresh acidity unfold with power and balance. Still youthful, with firm tannins and a touch of rustic charm, it promises excellent aging potential.

Red cherries and blackcurrant on the nose. This has such a great richness to it, not heavy but so deep you can just taste the layers and layers of fruit, oak spice and acidity. I like really the presence of this in the mouth, it's not completely integrated right now, there's a tiny bit of appealing sweetness but also some rusticity that comes across via dry tannins so it's not ready to drink, but it will be delicious in time. Precision winemaking on show - laser sharp with such detail! A top buy.

Already showing balance between fruit and structure, this wine is ripe and dense. Juicy black fruits are highlighted by licorice and firm tannins that still leave room for acidity and black‑currant flavors. Drink this wine from 2026.
