It would be a challenge to find a better Merlot than Silverado’s 2009 vintage. Enjoy the waves of smooth, beautifully ripened fruit accented with savory spices (mint, sage) washing across your palate, and savor the robust finish. It’s a versatile wine to serve with meat–pork, chicken, beef, lamb–or hearty vegetarian fare such as roasted eggplant or mushroom-based dishes.
