erlot -This Merlot, blended from different top vineyards in California to provide a broad palette of flavors, has strong red-fruit aromas and silky, supple, round tannins. Raspberries and dark fruits show in the nose along with a lovely hint of exotic spice. A touch of French oak vanilla supports the luscious flavors that linger on the palate. Black and opaque in color, bold aromas of black cherries, cassis, cedar, violets and brown spices offer a firm but balanced taste.

This structured wine has a soft, easy drinking character. Serve with grilled lamb or meats, barbequed chicken or a hearty pasta dish. Enjoy!
