NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Cougar Crest Estate Merlot is a bold and robust red wine with a deep, dark ruby hue.On the nose, aromas of ripe, dark fruit, chocolate, and toasted oak mingle with subtle hints of vanilla and spice. On the palate, concentrated blackberry and plum flavors are complemented by soft tannins, a velvety texture, and a lingering finish. Enjoy this Merlot now or lay it down for a few more years to allow it to fully develop.
