About the wine
Merlot on steroids!
- A big punchy wine with enough fruit to knock you off your feet and an oak aging that makes it smoother than silk.
- After Eric's success with Malbec he decided to rope in some more Bordeaux varieties - this is like a Merlot/Malbec on steroids.
- Kolbe tastes a bit young today on vibrant ripe berries, but let it breathe and you'll get a glimpse of the big, brawny wine underlying all that fruit.

Working with obscure grape varieties and vineyards that don't fit the Big Brand archetypes means Eric pays less and gets more, so he can pass those savings on to you.
-
Does it pay off to challenge the status quo? You be the judge. Open a bottle of Eric's wine and let us know if he's on the right track.
