NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Keenan Mailbox Vineyard Reserve Merlot is a bold and robust wine, with ripe plum and blackberry aromas on the nose.On the palate, its bold tannins are complemented by savory notes of mocha, tobacco, and black pepper, with a long and juicy finish. The wine is well-balanced, with a great structure and excellent acidity. It is an excellent choice for food pairing and will make a great addition to any wine cellar.
