Merlot

Merlot is loved for it’s boisterous black cherry flavors, supple tannins, and chocolatey finish. On the high end, it’s often mistaken with Cabernet Sauvignon and commonly blended with it.

FOOD PAIRING
Merlot tastes great alongside roasted foods like pork shoulder, roasted mushrooms or braised short ribs. Try complementing the fruit notes with chimichurri sauce.
