Tasting Notes:   The nose brings dried cherry with lingering cocoa powder and warmed baking spice.  This unique Merlot is light in body – think Pinot Noir or Mourvèdre – a light, summer red.  It has deep complex flavors leading with a bright fermented Montmorency cherry.  Good tannins on the mid-palate that supports a long and pleasing finish. 

Pairing Notes:  This wine is high acid and would be best suited pairing with a creamy cheese or rich, oily cheese or sauce.  Grilled meats, fish or even spicy Hispanic dishes.
