The 2021 Merlot presents inviting aromas of dried cherry, currant, herb, clove spice and toasted oak. A plush mouthfeel unfolds with deep red fruit flavors accented by cassis, blackberry, tobacco, peppercorn, vanilla and dark chocolate. Supple tannins and energetic acidity add length to a smooth, rounded finish.

FOOD PAIRING: The beautifully balanced weight of the 2021 Merlot makes an excellent match for beef stew, veal chops, vegetable lasagna, and lamb shanks in a red wine sauce.
