WINEMAKING NOTES
This dark inky wine unfolds with bold aromas of white pepper, ripe raspberry and black currants elegantly followed by notes of black tru e and mesquite. Smooth and inviting right from the start… a flavorful
symphony of rich, jammy fruit flavors come forth from your first sip. Flavors of black cherry and candied orange peel evolving into notes of walnut, tobacco leaf and cinnamon baked apple nuances. Blended with a touch of Cabernet Sauvignon to add backbone and structure, this is a crowd-pleasing distinctive Merlot.
FOOD PAIRING
Try pairing our 2010 Merlot with hearty beef stroganoff , pork tenderloin with rosemary and baby red potatoes or simply enjoy with a plate of soft cheeses (brie, Camembert, blue cheese).
