Winemaker Notes
Slightly on the heavier side in body and tannin, this year’s Merlot has a nice balance of American and French Oak that gives off a pleasant warming sensation. A warm and dry summer, accompanied by generous punch-downs of the fruit during harvest provides a rich and dark red hue.
Food Pairing Notes
We suggest pairing this wine with roasted poultry, beef dishes with rich sauces, roasted vegetables, sharp or smoky cheeses, and dark berry desserts.
