NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Noble Vines 181 Merlot has a deep garnet-red color in the glass.On the nose, aromas of ripe black cherry, blackberry, and plum are complemented by notes of warm baking spices, mocha, and a touch of toasty oak. On the palate, flavors of juicy dark fruits are framed by clove, nutmeg, and sweet tobacco. The tannins are finely integrated, adding structure and balance to the full-bodied mouthfeel. A long finish of black cherry and cocoa powder linger on the palate. Enjoy with grilled ribeye steak, roasted root vegetables, or a creamy risotto.
