Dark I purple, The Flight 2015 (a mixture of 61% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc and 37% Cabernet Sauvignon) opens with electric notes chip black fruits and blue: wild blueberry, fresh blackberries and black plums crushed with shades of lavender, violets, pencil shavings, tilled earth, yeast extract and a pinch of cinnamon. Half-length full, hits the palate with tons of energy and freshness backed by firm tannins and fine-grained layers ending with tons of fragrant earth.

This is very tight grain and beautifully balanced with violets, crushed stones and blackberry character. Extremely aromatic and scented. medium body with a full mouth compressed feeling wonderfully fresh and fine tannins. A red merlot fantastic base for harvest. Structured but very balanced. Beautiful now but better in 2021
