WINE DESCRIPTION
A classic example of a modern Merlot, the Holden Manz Reserve is a delicious blend of dark berry fruit and subtle oak. On the nose, it offers aromas of blackberry, plum, and a hint of spice. On the palate, the juicy fruit flavors are complemented by a subtle smokiness. The velvety tannins provide a nice balance and a long, lingering finish. Enjoy this Merlot with grilled meats, pasta dishes, or any hearty meal.
