How This Woman From India Created A French Wine Label

The 2016 Solicantus wine is a 90/5/5 blend of Merlot/Cabernet Sauvignon/Malbec aged for 18 months in French oak. It is a beauty to taste—with balanced aromas that include those of raspberries, plums, orange rind and charcoal. The wine is integrated and harmonious in the mouth—light but with a powerful tannic backbone and tastes that include those of plums and pepper. It will age well for decades.
