description: Tastes so softly decadent, so rich in jam and chocolate flavors, that it's no surprise to learn the alcohol on this Merlot is a hefty 16.2% by volume. It's almost Port-like, but the finish is dry and clean. It's not for long aging, but with the right foods—Mexican mole beef or lamb comes to kind—this is a good marriage.
variety: Merlot
