Appellation: Sierra Foothills Blend: 100% Merlot Aging: 24 months French and American Oak
WINEMAKER NOTES: The 2016 Reserve Merlot is a first-class wine deserving of high respect. Generous fruit notes with hints of nutmeg and cloves. Raspberry, black cherry and mouthwatering plums make way for a smooth, structured finish with silky flavors of chocolate and spice.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS: Merlot wine matches with a wide variety of foods because of its position in the middle of the red wine spectrum. Some of the best proteins to match with Merlot are in the middle-weight category. Think roast duck, turkey, and lean cuts of beef. You might also consider baked pasta dishes like lasagna, as well as spicy rice dishes such as jambalaya.
