What to Expect

Merlot has gotten a bad rap as of late but there is no denying the wine's appeal. Packed with deep, dark berry fruit and nuanced hints of cocoa, herb and earth with a soft structure. Its velvety texture makes Merlot instantly appealing and an obvious alternative to similar, more tannic Bordeaux varieties.

Intense blueberry and mocha flavors are accented by black cherry, currant and anise notes. This wine is structured, yet the subtle tannins create a luxuriously smooth mouthfeel. The finish is complex, rich and elegant. Invites another glass! - Randy Ullom, Winemaster

Tasting Notes - Black plum, boysenberry, and cherry flavors dance amongst the violet, chocolate and cedar notes. This wine is smooth and the tannins are refined and round. In true Merlot character, this wine caresses the mouth and lingers beyond each sip.

This medium-bodied Merlot exhibits aromas and flavors of plum, black cherry and blueberry,complemented by vanilla and toasty oak complexities. Great food pairings for this wine includegrilled tuna, or steaks, roasted rosemary seasoned lamb, red sauced pastas or strong cheeses.
