Merlot Reserve 2019
Some never noticed her, the understudy, sitting quietly in the corner as the star carried the show. But one night, one opportunity, and she was off, a star all unto herself, never to be left in the corner again.

Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
A bold and inviting purple, aromas of raspberry jam and brown sugar immediately impress. The flavors are bold and complex, with a wave of red fruits powering into a firm tannin that suggests the possibility for long cellaring.
Winemaker Notes
So often Merlot is overshadowed by its blending partner and Bordeaux stablemate, Cabernet Sauvignon. And so often we find ourselves at Europa Village professing the greatness of this grape and extolling the virtues of excellent Merlot. This exactingly chosen Reserve bottling should serve as a notice of the high standards to which we can hold Merlot.
Food Pairing Notes
A nice addition to a medium rare herb-crusted venison.
