Description:
This wine is jam-packed with flavors and aromas. Loads of deep, ripe cherries and blackberries are apparent on the nose with a lush core of sweet vanilla and toasty oak. These aromas carry through to the palate, where the round and ripe entry is complemented by a full bodied mouth feel and harmonious and lingering finish. This wine should pair well with beef, pork and lamb. It will age well for the next seven to ten years. Enjoy with good friends and family. Make any occasion special by opening this estate grown, produced and bottled wine.

Varietal Definition
Merlot:
Merlot is known as a Noble Bordeaux varietal. Although it came to France in the first century, it was not named until the 1880s. Merlot was originally used only for blending, as it is soft and compliant, very useful in softening other Bordeaux wines like Cabernets. Recently in California and Chile it became popular as a 100% varietal wine. Merlot tends to be easier to grow in a variety of soil conditions and is harvested earlier in the year than Cabernet. Although most Merlots are made to be drunk earlier, there are many with complexities of a Cabernet. Flavors of plum, black cherry, violet, chocolate and orange pair well with rich, red pasta dishes, hearty chicken dishes, and any beef combination that you fancy. The perfect match of course is chocolate. Not only does the chocolate compliment the wine and vice-versa, but the essence of both flavors linger eternally.
