Myola bears the name of a village near the vineyard and is basically a blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc - in a composition that varies from year to year. For a few vintages there has also been Shiraz in the mix, e.g. in 2007, when the Shiraz harvest due to frost and drought was too small to produce the house's Shiraz wines. The color is dark, deep red and glossy in the glass. In the fragrance you will find cool shades of cherry and at the same time warmer and deeper tones of blackcurrants and ripe plums. The taste has plenty of complexity and a good tannin, which bodes well for the future. The oak blends well with the fruit. An oxygenation is recommended when the wine is young. 2012 according to Peder Rosdahl: Deep dark colour, dark purple edge. Cassis, blueberries, and pepper are the first impressions. Later some vanilla, liquorice and a hint of mint. Light and pleasant tannins. Well balanced and a good level of acidity.
