Alter Ego Palmer other_regions smoky and gently tannic finishComposed of 53% Merlot, 41% Cabernet Sauvignon and 6% Petit Verdot, the 2017 Alter Ego de Palmer is deep garnet purple in color and springs from the glass with vivacious black raspberries, black cherries and crushed blackcurrants notes plus hints of Sichuan pepper, menthol, pencil lead and cardamom. Medium bodied, the palate is charged with energy, featuring expressive, bright black fruits and firm, fine grained tannins, finishing long and lively.
