You can hope all you want but it will only happen when nature allows it.
A delicately-sweet, late-harvest wine with aromas and flavors of ripe pear and wild flower honey.
The flavors of this moist caramelized pear cake get better with each passing day.
It wasn’t the wine they wanted, but it showed up anyway. About a quarter century ago, Merlot crashed the party with as much subtlety as Bluto Blutarsky in a toga.
Aromas and flavors of red cassis and tart plum with hints of earthy dried herbs and cacao nibs. The wine has a nice weight that fills the mid-palate, yet finishes long and clean with bright, mouth watering acidity... an ideal candidate for the dinner table.
Roll up your sleeves and give yourself a little time to create this dish. Enlist the help of others and pour yourself a glass of Merlot.
In cool climates like the Right Bank of Bordeaux or the Carneros, Merlot can take the lead as a varietal wine because it has the ripening time to develop flavor and structure in the cooler hinterlands.
