2021 Merlot, Sangiacomo Vineyards

This sensational release features aromas of crushed red berries, cherry cola, and fresh sage accompanied with flavors of ripe cherry, fresh raspberry, plum, milk chocolate, baking spices, and fine French oak. Bright, expressive and endearing, the profile is complimented with a smooth, silky texture, fine-grained tannins, and a burst of fresh acidity leading to a long, graceful finish. Pairs well with braised lamb shanks, Moroccan beef stew, and penne pasta with grilled portabellas and pecorino cheese.
