Wine Review: This hazy and medium garnet colored Merlot from Sette Ponti opens with a cedar and red currant bouquet with hints of moist pipe tobacco and pine. On the palate, this wine is medium plus bodied with integrated medium plus acidity. The mouthfeel is nicely balanced, smooth, fresh, and mouthwatering. The flavor profile is a cedar influenced red cherry with notes of graphite and black tea. We also detected hints of red licorice, kalamata olive, and cocoa. The finish is dry, and its flavors, acidity, and moderate grippy tannins are nicely sustained. We would pair this Merlot with grilled salmon. Enjoy - KWGTP
Winemaker Notes: Notes of violets, tapenade, lavender, blackberries, blueberries, and plum.
Pairs well with fine meats, game noble, and braised red meats.
