2019: 53% MERLOT, 47% CABERNET FRANC, 100% KNIGHTS VALLEY
Both the Cabernet franc and Merlot were the first to be planted on this parcel of land in 2004. Possessing a deep garnet color, the aromatics boast dark fruit, plum, mocha and pepper. This wine has a velvety texture, yet it is juicy, rich and dense along with amazing acidity which provides a great structural backbone. The tannins are leathery, the finish is very powerful and the cabernet franc elements are simply delightful. Another excellent vintage of proprietary red from Mekerra which is sure not to disappoint.
"Deep, rich and explosive, the 2019 possesses tremendous depth and tons of character."
— Antonio Galloni
