As the name suggests, this is a velveteen and plush merlot, with ripe blackberry jam, cushy plum and cherry blossom. Tannins are soft and nubby at the finish, closing out the dry palate and ending on a short, pinched blueberry note. This everyday Merlot requires meat to show its best; think burgers or ribs.
