The wine's balanced acidity and smooth tannins make it an excellent pairing with roasted meats, hearty stews, and aged cheeses.

If I could mix up a batch of blueberry fruit leather with violets and bits of blood orange, it would smell just like this dazzling Merlot. Flavors of blackcap raspberries, anise and bone marrow are backed by firm, ripe fine-grained tannins and lively acidity.
