The Long Island Wine & Spirit Merchant TeamTasting notes
Nose
Ripe plum and black cherry lead, with a soft mocha note underneath. The fruit smells round and open, not tight or oaky.
Palate
Medium bodied and smooth, with plum and black cherry up front. A dusting of mocha sits mid palate, and the tannins stay soft and gentle. Acidity is modest, keeping it easy and approachable.
Finish
Clean and fairly short, with the cherry fading gently and a light mocha echo. No grip or heat, just an easy close.
How to serve and what to pour it with
Serve this Merlot at cool room temperature, around 60 to 65 degrees, in a standard red wine glass. No decanting needed, but a quick pour and a few minutes of air help the fruit open. If it feels flat, a slight chill brings back freshness. Keep the glass half full to focus the aroma.
