2009 Proximus Merlot

A beautifully balanced Merlot with aromas that include plum, nutmeg, cedar, sage and cocoa. Satisfying and complex on the palate with a dark chocolate finish. We consider all our wines to be “reserve,” but Proximus wines are even more special and this Merlot deserves the designation.
