This Bordeaux-style blend is ripe with aromatics and flavors of plum, cherry, cedar, and cloves. Maximilien is an old Roman name used throughout the centuries got saints, emperors, revolutionaries and philosophers...complex and controversial but never boring. It is an apt name for this blend of noble and historic varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.
