The 2014 Merlot is dark garnet red in color. This wine is swarming with wonderful notes of herbal, tea-like aromas as well as classic red fruits, black/dark cherry, and hints of black olive. The mouth is filled with rich flavors of black cherry, black tea, and cocoa powder. It finishes with good acidity and lingering tapenade and herbal flavors. A true Merlot varietal wine, this will pair well with a roasted leg of lamb and garlic mashed potatoes topped with sautéed mushrooms.
