Smith & Hooper Cabernet Merlot 2022 alvaro-palacios Fermentation is carried out withDeep red with purple hue. Very aromatic nose full of violets, satsuma plums and rich blackberry. The palate is plush and full bodied with the Merlot showing through as blueberry and black currant fruits. The sweet fruit is well supported by the Cabernet tannin and acid along with the dark chocolate edge from the oak. This vibrant, fresh wine will continue to delight over many years.
