Tasting Notes

This extremely aromatic 100% Merlot bursts from the glass with vanilla, cherry, blackberry, dark chocolate, raspberry, and mint. This wine has a satisfyingly long and lingering finish. Enjoy now or for many years to come, as this wine will age gracefully in your cellar.

Food Pairings

Cured meats, rich cheeses, beef tenderloin, seared duck, and roasted leg of lamb
