This crimson colored Merlot is full of intense dark chocolate aromas which are underscored by ripe huckleberry with a hint of cassis. On the palate the wine is concentrated with deep, dark fruit such as black cherry, boysenberry and blackberry pie notes. This Merlot finishes with white pepper spice and folds into an elegant French oak vanilla symphony. This Merlot pairs well with Rib Eye steak alongside a mixed green and beet salad, or with Beef Stroganoff. Also try this wine with Cornish game hens and wild mushroom risotto.
