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.

Wine Skinny

Appealing for its smooth, delicate black cherry and berry flavors that pick up slight touches of milk chocolate and sweet spices, even if it finishes a bit short. Ready to drink now and over the next couple of years.
