Cellar No. 8 Merlot
A soft California Merlot for the everyday table in Commack.
The story behind Cellar No. 8
Merlot is the soft side of red wine. In California it tends to run round and generous, with plum and dark cherry fruit, low tannin and a smooth finish, which is why it works so well with a plain weeknight dinner. It is also the grape that makes many of the great reds of Bordeaux, usually blended with Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc.
