WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
181 Merlot is a classic Merlot with aromas of blackberry, vanilla and cocoa nibs, mingled with a hint of cinnamon and nutmeg spices. The subtle flavors of ripe plum and blackberry help bring smoothness to this full-bodied wine with soft tannins.
Enjoy this wine with easy dishes such as pasta with sausage, burgers fresh off the grill or a portabella mushroom burger with all the trimmings. Roasted seasonal vegetables with fresh herbs are an excellent match as well.
