Merlot

From NOAH RIVER Ruby in color. Big, floral nose of dark cherry, fig, and Asian spice. Secondary notes of blackberry, mint, and pekoe tea. Medium bodied flavors of dark cherry cola, red raspberry, and tea. Wonderful finish of red plum and baker’s chocolate.

From STEFANO ACCORDINI

From SOLROOM Dark red in color. Ripe, forward nose of black fruits, dark cherry, and chocolate. Full-bodied flavors of blackberry, dark cherry, and chocolate with fine tannins and a measure of acidity.

From CANTINARTE The inky deepness of the ruby color concedes just a purplish rim, opening into a very intense nose with brisk mineral notes of pencil lead, dark fruits and blackberry with slightly balsamic nuances in the background. The palate attack is always very soft and caressing thanks to the sweet tannins.

From CLOS ROUSSELY Mid-ruby color with purple highlights. Aromas of raspberries, ripe cherries, wet earth and spice. Medium bodied with fine tannins and fresh acidity, juicy fruit flavors, and an invigorating finish with mineral and spice notes.

From MURI-GRIES Straw yellow in color. A bouquet of fresh fruit, tea, and herbs including mint. Slightly buttery and nutty. Full bodied with a long and slightly bitter finish. Ideal with vegetable lasagna, squash soup, potato casseroles, and fresh cheeses.
