La Francette Merlot NV (6 x 750mL) Vin de france

Description:

Merlot is a dark blue-coloured wine grape variety, that is used as both a blending grape and for varietal wines. The name Merlot is thought to be a diminutive of merle, the French name for the blackbird, probably a reference to the colour of the grape. Its softness and "fleshiness", combined with its earlier ripening, makes Merlot a popular grape for blending with the sterner, later-ripening Cabernet Sauvignon, which tends to be higher in tannin.

Winery Tasting Notes

Notes Image

Tasting Notes:

Smooth soft, silky, and fruity with easy tannins. Notes of ripe dark fruit, chocolate and underscored with hints of Black Cherry, Raspberry, and ripe plums.

A most enjoyable drink devoid of the sharpness often found in new world Merlots and devoid of any bitterness that sometimes accompanies it.

Food Pairing:

Great with steaks and red and white meats all cheeses and just quaffing.
