Wine Tasting Notes Refined elegance marks our 2006 Merlot. Opening with heady aromas of cherry, blackberry and a roasted coffee bean, the wine's bold greeting exposes the nature of its unique origin. Across the palate, supple flavors of forest berry and plum fluidly move in balance with a bright acidity and understated spiciness. Well integrated tannins hold through for a vibrant, lingering finish, complimenting robust pasta dishes, herb-stuffed chicken breast, or marinated pork loin.
