Wine Expert Note:

This Matanzas Creek Merlot Sonoma County is a bold and structured red wine with juicy black fruit and a hint of fresh herbs on the nose. On the palate, the wine offers intense flavors of blackberry, dark cherry, and plum, balanced with a hint of smokiness and a smooth, integrated tannic structure. The finish is long and rich, with flavors lingering on the palate. This is a great choice for pairing with grilled meats and tomato-based dishes.
