The generous black fruits are full of berry aromas along with black tannins and juicy black-currant flavors.

The orange peel and orange blossoms with redcurrants come through nicely here with a medium body, crunchy acidity and a firm finish. Bright and vivid. 52% cabernet sauvignon and 48% merlot. Nice to drink now but good backbone for the vintage.
One of the world’s most classic and popular styles of red wine, Bordeaux-inspired blends have spread from their homeland in France to nearly every corner of the New World. Typically based on either Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot and supported by Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot, the best of these are densely hued, fragrant, full of fruit and boast a structure that begs for cellar time. Somm Secret—Blends from Bordeaux are generally earthier compared to those from the New World, which tend to be fruit-dominant.
One of the six appellations of the Haut-Medoc, Moulis has a rolling landscape with considerable soil variations. With its mix of gravel, clay and limestone, Moulis offers some of the more enticingly perfumed Bordeaux Blends of the Left Bank.
