Features

2009 Merlot 750ml 6-Pack

Complex aromas, such as cinnamon stick, black raspberry, cardamom, and eucalyptus, lead off this classically styled Merlot. Flavors of coco nibs, dried cherries, and red currant have a velvety roundness on the palate. In addition, hints of tea leaf and brambly berry notes give this Merlot further depth, along with moderate acidity and texture from a small percentage of Petite Sirah. Full-bodied with gripping tannins, this Merlot will appeal to traditional Merlot fans with its velvety berry flavors, as well as Cabernet drinkers with its depth and round tannins.

Open a bottle of this Merlot with a pan-roasted pork loin served with a balsamic reduction sauce, or polenta with mushroom ragu. A flourless chocolate cake would also be a perfect match for the richness of the dark berry flavors in this Merlot.
