Winemaker Notes
Intensely perfumed aromatics mark the nose of the 2006 Merlot, which boasts a deep ruby color and layered notes of black cherry, plum, cola, licorice, and violets. On the palate, the wine’s signature plum and cherry flavors are complemented by soulful notes of cocoa, tobacco, brown sugar, vanilla, toast, and allspice. Well-knit tannins and a velvety mouthfeel are hallmarks of this wine's superb balance and drinkability.

Food Pairings
Fruity, medium-bodied Merlot calls for pairings such as braised meats, Portobello burgers, and soft cheeses.
