Appellation: Sierra Foothills
Blend: 100% Merlot
Aging: 24 months French and American Oak
WINEMAKER NOTES: The 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 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 want to consider baked pasta dishes like lasagna, as well as spicy rice dishes such as jambalaya.
