Created in tribute to the brothers’ dear sister Michelle, Daniel crafted a wine that showcased her favorite blend, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Arguably the best Micho to date, this wine shows how Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot can work together to create a very harmonious experience. Each plays a distinctive role- the Cabernet provides tremendous structure while the noble Merlot grapes rounds out the mouthfeel and softens the edges. The wine is deep purple-black color with notions of plum preserves, Persian mulberries, baked blackberries with incense, spice box and espresso nuances. It is full bodied, concentrated and focused on the palate. The tannins are silky yet solid while never taking away from the extraordinary balance of the wine. Multilayered, it finished with tremendous complexity in the mouth. A great wine that will reward you with years of aging in the bottle.

Blend: 52% Merlot, 48% Cabernet Sauvignon
