Producer: 
Trefethen
Item name: 
Merlot
Wine type: 
Red
Reviewer:

A truly delicious Merlot! The nose delivers berry, plum, subtle vanilla and toasted oak notes. The wine offers structured tannins, which dissipate with appropriate decanting. Still youthful, this merlot offers flavors of cherry, plum, pepper and leather. You will surely enjoy the long finish. This merlot makes a perfect pair with Italian food. Enjoy.
