Margin Call Merlot Bottle Comp

2023 margin call

MERLOT

Filled with notes of ripe cherries, blueberry, and black plum with a hint of chocolate, the Margin Call Merlot is an ideal party wine. It’s exactly what you want in your glass as you swirl and chat and graze the buffet table.

 

Deviled eggs topped with fried shallots? Delish! Short rib sliders on Hawaiian buns? Yum. This Merlot is as charming as you are tonight.
