If a wine that feels like velvet in your mouth and is filled with the flavours of ripe raspberries, blueberries, black plums, hints of cocoa, violets and roses sounds good, then this a wine for you. Created by Food and Wine magazine’s winemaker of the year for 2009, Washington winemaker, Charles Smith, has created a wine that will have everyone singing the praises of merlot with every sip. On the palate you will find this wine full of delicious ripe red fruits balanced with soft tannins and a rich, velvety finish.

This wine is so easy to drink and enjoy that I highly recommend that you pick up more then one bottle when you head to your favorite wine store, as I think that you just might find added to your must have favorite list.

Pair this wine with grilled meats, hamburgers, ribs, BBQ’d chicken, chocolate desserts, stews, lamb, and anything other dish you can think of that a silky, ripe wine would go with. Also a great wine to sip on its own with good friends or enjoyed quietly with your favorite book.

Currently available in Alberta, British Columbia and around the world. This wine might be a bit of a search as it sells out very quickly but it is well worth the wait so keep searching.
