Paritua Red Blend 2015 skus_NS104 Copious dry extract clings toThis Merlot dominated Bordeaux style blend is housed in a wrist achingly heavy bottle.

More cooked fruit awaits on the big boned palate, along with chewy tannins and a bit of heat from the alcohol, leaving one wanting for more freshness and harmony.
