Though often overlooked as the underdog to the more structured Cabernet, we consider our Merlot to be our first class red. The most planted varietal in France and a thin-skinned grape, offers a medium body and acidity with earthly flavors such as tobacco and vanilla. Characterized by a soft finish and easy tannins, this wine has a velvety texture and notable minerality. Merlot pairs well with most foods due to its savory and fruit-driven profile that is nuanced and smooth on the palate.
