(Mare-lo): The crowd pleaser of red wines. Merlot offers the perfect balance between youth and maturity.  Full-bodied and racy with an intense ruby-red color, its velvety yet woody flavor derives from a savory blend of red fruits, sweet almonds, and hints of vanilla: a true festival of flavors. It is considered round in the mouth and its intensity leaves no one indifferent. An aromatic nose is amplified by its characteristic woodiness. Merlot is the genuine crowd pleaser. 

Recommended Food Pairings: Best served with poultry and grilled meats. Merlot can be served with almost anything with the exception of Fish.
