The 2018 Marojallia is a blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Merlot. It was aged in one-third new French oak barrels, one-third in second year barrels and the rest in vats. It has 14.5% alcohol. Deep garnet-purple in color, it bursts from the glass with fragrant scents of Black Forest cake, warm cassis and redcurrant jelly with hints of cinnamon stick, rose petals, cedar chest and chocolate box. The medium to full-bodied palate is packed with expressive black and red berry flavors, supported by finely grained tannins and just enough freshness, finishing long with a spicy kick. This vineyard is situated between Le Tertre and Monbrison in the parish of Arsac on deep, gravelly soils. It is planted at a high density of 6,500-10,000 vines per hectare. The average age of the vines for this section was 60 years old in 2018.

The blend is 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Merlot, and it has 14.5% alcohol. Deep purple-black in color, the 2018 Marojallia is a little reticent to begin and then, with coaxing, reveals fragrant rose hip tea, cedar chest, fallen leaves and cinnamon stick scents over a core of black cherry compote, warm cassis and plum pudding. Full-bodied and decadently fruited, the palate has a plush frame and just enough freshness supporting the generous fruit, finishing long and spicy.
