Velvety and smooth with rich flavors of red berry, plum and ripe cherry, highlighted with notes of mocha and spice. The StoneCap Merlot is superb served with veal, grilled salmon and medium bodied cheeses. 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.
