Aromas of black cherry and plum backed by sweet herbal notes. This Merlot is medium-bodied and jammy with flavors of cherry and a hint of vanilla resulting from French and American oak. Merlot is a perfect match for beef and other medium-heavy dishes. It pairs wonderfully with rich, red pasta sauces, pork, turkey, beef, veal, pheasant, and garden salads. Merlot is also an excellent compliment to chocolate.
