Dark ruby in color with aromas of cherry, cedar and a hint of oregano. This Merlot shows flavors of dark plum and black cherry, with a touch of French oak driven Vanilla notes. Intended to serve as a "go to" crowd pleaser, it is highly versatile wine. Enjoy it at the park with some jack cheese, sliced apples, and a baguette; with your favorite pizza after a long day at the office; or serve with beef stew on a cold winter day. 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.
