• Buy 12 for $21.59 each and save 10%

100% Merlot. Medium ruby color. Expressive aromas of blackberry, blueberry, bramble, violets, cedar, and dark chocolate. On the palate, the wine reveals a layered structure with floral lift, notes of black plum, earth, walnut, caramel, and sweet tobacco, all framed by the gentle influence of neutral oak, which enhances mouthfeel without overt spice or toast. The tannins are soft and integrated, allowing the medium-plus flavor intensity to shine through, leading to a persistent, elegant finish.

Food Pairing: Smoked pork-blade steak, roasted half chicken and even a simple burger.
