Our First Lapostolle

Casa Lapostolle
Cuvee Alexandre, Apalta Vineyard
Merlot
$16.99
Shane’s Notes

The color is dark red. The dominant aroma is cassis with some jammy and herbal undertones. It has a smooth mouth feel but still plenty of tannins to hold it together. The palate is tart, concentrated and displays cassis and a hint of chocolate on the finish. The finish is very spicy (almost too spicy). It has excellent, subtle flavors for a wine in this price range.
