VERMEIL PROPRIETARY RED
Bold and structured, this red makes a strong statement from the moment it dances with crimson waves into the glass, to when it flourishes in your mouth. You’ll find that this cabernet’s critical acclaim is well warranted. Pairs well with dimly lit living rooms and flirtatious drinking companions.
