Out of the ordinary, incomparable, the rare ability to be potentially one of the outstanding red wines of the new world. A wine of real beauty to cherish as it softly envelops the palate.
The balance is critical between the Merlot, bringing suppleness, roundness and exceptional length and the Cabernet Franc which cherishes the nose with ripe red fruit delivering a wonderful first impression.

Cherish Mélange is a right bank Bordeaux-Style blend inspired by the Saint-Emilion wines of Château Cheval Blanc.
Château Cheval Blanc grows grapes on one hundred acres of vineyards in Saint-Émilion appellation in the Bordeaux wine region of France and is a right bank wine.
The chateau traces its heritage back for centuries and is one of only four to receive the highest rank of Premiers Grand Cru status in the Classification of Saint-Émilion wine. The superior vintages are blended to the following general specification:
- 2% Cabernet Sauvignon
- 52% Merlot
- 46% Cabernet Franc
We created Cherish as an homage to Cheval Blanc.

A century later on the eve of the French Revolution, there were still two winegrowers living full-time at Cheval Blanc refusing to leave their cherished vineyards.
