| Tasting Notes: | This Merlot offers beguiling aromas of cherry pie, rhubarb, candied apple, clove and nutmeg, enhanced by a slight mineral quality. On the palate, red-fruit flavors of cherry, raspberry and plum are accented by cedar and roasted-almond notes. The wine's rich texture and core of lively acidity make it extremely food friendly. Enjoy it with veal roast, coq au vin or hard, aged cheeses. |
