Mercury Rising is a blend primarily composed of Bordeaux varieties: 
Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Cabernet adds structure and 
aroma, while Merlot provides a supple mouthfeel mid-palate. Petit 
Verdot brings rich color, tannins and hints of violets. Malbec has 
aromas of black cherry, chocolate, with deep dark color. harmonizes 
the wine by elevating the fruit. A bit of Cabernet Franc and adds a 
touch of spice. All of the grapes are fermented separately due to 
different harvest dates and to maximize the potential of each variety.
Mercury Rising is not only an enjoyable wine to drink, but also a fun 
wine to create.
