Tasting Notes

Our ‘23 Long Cork Merlot showcases a mysterious and sultry profile, opening with notes and flavors of cherries, raisin jam, and chocolate, while delivering a silky texture despite robust tannins. This is a full-bodied, concentrated Merlot that lands firmly on the mid-palate, and finishes with white pepper, and a vanilla-cherry cola finish.

Pair: Ginger carrot soup with lamb, arugula salad topped with goat cheese and salty sunflower seeds, or BLT with fig preserves.
