Red Chrisolithos by Muses Estate is a single vineyard Merlot, velvety and full of complexity and fruit. It gets aged in small oak barrels, absorving the best aromatic elements, without them covering the fruity character. Pure fruit, with ripe small cherriers and blackberries that stand out. Medium volume with soft and round tannins. The spicy element is more intense on the palate, along with the jam in the aftertaste.
