| STROUMBELI Merlot |
| Red Dry Wine |
|
| TASTING NOTES |
| This mountain grown Merlot has deep cherry-red colour with intense fruit flavours reminiscent of black cherries, currants, and blackberries. On the palate, it is rich and wealthy, bursting with flavours of black fruits, backed by chocolate and vanilla oak notes and round, chewy tannins. Though enjoyable at present, this classic wine has the structure and intensity to improve with aging. This versatile wine is an excellent accompaniment to any red meat, poultry, or pasta dish. For a special treat, try it with rack of lamb or roast quail. |
