Description
On the nose, this Merlot offers pronounced mulberry and red cherry flavors, accented by hints of vanilla and dark chocolate. The palate is plush and vibrant, with redder mulberry flavors supported by refined wood tannins. The finish combines subtle roasted coffee beans with savory fynbos for added complexity.
Food Pairing
This Merlot pairs beautifully with lamb, beef teriyaki, or even a Moroccan pigeon pastilla, due to its balance of fruit and savory notes.
