Crama Oprisor 'Cupola Sanctis Sfantul Ioan' (dry) box of 6 bottles

Saint John is an intense ruby blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, which develops bold notes of spices, dried plums, chocolate and accents of berries, spices, vanilla and butter. Dense and velvety, with pleasing and elegant tannins, the wine has a friendly structure but also a depth that dries you to the sensation of spice and wood.
Its structure indicates that the wine has good potential for evolution and aging.
