Merchant's description

A true terroir vintage, the 2009 is composed of a blend of 52% Merlot, 41% Cabernet Sauvignon and 7% Petit Verdot. A wonderfully aromatic and concentrated red showcasing the best that Margaux can offer. Look for notes of ripe black fruit with a touch of spice, elegant tannins and a long finish.
