The 2022 Merlot is elegantly scented with plum, mulberry, tobacco, caramel and black tea. The mouthfeel is expansive, ripe and velvety with flavors of black raspberry, cherry and blackberry, accented by notes of cocoa dust, coffee and toasty oak. Finely grained tannins extend into a smooth, rich finish. Pairs perfectly with pan-seared duck breast, grilled veal chops and pasta with lamb ragu.
Here's What We Thought:
This is your friends-on-the-couch, one-more-episode kind of red. Plum and dark cherry roll in first, followed by cocoa and a hint of espresso, all wrapped in velvety tannins and those warm baking spices that come from oak aging. It’s smooth, cozy, and easy to keep pouring while the conversation (and the streaming queue) flows. Pairs with short rib sliders, mushroom pizza, truffle fries, or a bowl of dark-chocolate popcorn. 🍷
