ExcelsuS
Merlot / Cabernet Sauvignon
An extremely limited release produced in only favorable vintages, ExcelsuS is an extraordinary wine made from 40% Cabernet Sauvignon and 60% Merlot. Each varietal is macerated and fermented for 20-25 days; then aged separately in French oak barrique for one year. They are blended, and further matured in the bottle for an additional one to two years.
A densely colored, ruby-hued red with garnet tones, this austere wine offers an opulent bouquet that hints of plum, black currant and bell pepper.
ExcelsuS complements red meats, game, rich-tasting dishes and full-flavored cheeses. Description: ExcelsuS is stylish and well-structured with a remarkable concentration of fruit and tannin.
