Barnard Griffin Merlot

A svelte, elegantly structured Washington State Merlot showing a deep ruby color. It bursts with aromas of red currant, fresh cherry, and plum, leading to a smooth, medium-bodied palate accented by savory baking spices, subtle cedar, and velvety tannins.

Food Pairing: Pairs with herb-crusted pork tenderloin, grilled Italian sausages, savory mushroom risotto, roasted lamb chops, or a charcuterie board featuring aged Gouda cheese

89 Points - Wine Enthusiast

Tart pie cherry and coconut water aromas mix it up with a floral arrangement of peonies, violets and a trace of cedarwood oil. Modest acidity and velvety tannins rub up against blackberry and sweet biscuit flavors. The wine's mouthfeel is light and easy.
