This Joel Gott Merlot is an exquisite expression of the classic Merlot varietal.Rich aromas of dark fruit, chocolate, and herbs lead to a smooth, balanced palate of blackberry, ripe plum, and sweet spice, finishing with a hint of toasted oak. Enjoyable now, it will continue to develop complexity in the bottle. Would match a number of dishes, from burgers to barbeque. Better to drink from a bigger glass to let aromas reveal.
