The 2018 Mondot is 100% Merlot; 50% comes from the estate and 50% from the new parcels. Deep garnet-purple colored, it springs from the glass with bright, vibrant red plums, fresh blackberries and kirsch scents followed by notions of wild blueberries, cracked black pepper, underbrush and damp soil with a waft of lavender. Medium to full-bodied, the palate delivers loads of crunchy red and black fruit, with rounded tannins and plenty of herbal and red fruit sparks lifting the finish.
