A blend of 70% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc aged 18 months in French oak barrels, 70% new.

The 2015 Canon Bordeaux Blend from Saint Emilion, France is an exceptional wine that showcases the true artistry and craftsmanship of winemaking. With its deep, dark red color, this wine immediately captures the eye and hints at the richness and complexity that lies within.

On the nose, the 2015 Canon is a symphony of aromas that dance and intertwine. Notes of blackberry preserves, black cherry compote, and fruitcake fill the air, accompanied by hints of mocha, plum preserves, and exotic spices. There is a touch of Indian spices, licorice, and black olives that adds a unique and captivating element to the bouquet.

As you take your first sip, the wine envelops your palate with ripe, rich dried berries and layers of exotic spices. It is full-bodied and bold, with a slightly chewy structure that gives it depth and complexity. Despite its power, the wine maintains a sense of freshness, thanks to its balanced acidity (pH 3.78). The finish is long and savory, leaving you with a lingering impression of its exceptional quality.
