Here is a widely available, fruit-driven Merlot with bright oak spice enlivening mixed berry and black cherry fruit. By-the-glass programs, take note. It’s an easy quaffer, or try it with medium strength cheeses. A Platinum Award Winner at the 2017 Sommelier Challenge International Wine & Spirits Competition.
