A blend of 90% Merlot with 8% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Cabernet Franc, the 2015 Proprietary Red Rescuer displays a deep garnet-purple color with an expressive nose of cassis, blackberries and plum preserves with earth and menthol notes, plus a waft of Indian spices. Full-bodied, the palate is generously flavored with notes of baked berries and spices, with rounded tannins and a long finish.

Inky fruit, crème de cassis, chocolate, sweet French oak, lavender and menthol are fused together in the 2015 The Rescuer, Canard's Merlot-based blend. Like all of these wines, the Rescuer is decidedly extroverted in style. All of the elements meld together effortlessly. The 2015 is ample and powerful, but also very nicely balanced.
