A beautifully balanced and approachable Merlot with expressive notes of rich plum, dark cherry and sweet baking spice. Soft and easy drinking, chocolate and sweet vanilla notes delight on the finish. Pairs well with juicy meats, velvety cheeses, berry sauces. Pairs especially well with... roasted and cured meats, flavorful cheeses, hearty vegetables, and the satisfying first sip by the fireplace (real or virtual).
