A deeply spicy, earthy nose draws levity from hints of vanilla and cedar, along with emergent aromas of black cherries and dried figs. More astringent fruit, from cranberries to orange peels, headlines the high-toned palate, where the acid pushes past lurking tannins.

The 2020 Cabernet Merlot San Leopoldo is dark and brooding, with a bouquet of sweet tobacco, violets, minty herbs and crushed blackberries. This is cool-toned and racy, with sleek textures and ripe red and black fruits flowing across a stream of zesty acidity. It finishes spicy and long, staining the palate with a web of fine tannins as hints of citrus-kissed blackberry wrap around the close. Well done.
