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.

Cracked open a bottle of this wine yesterday. Not sure how long I've had it but it was properly stored. This wine had a beautiful red fruit bouquet with a lush velvet mouthfeel and a smooth lingering finish with red fuit permeating throughout.
