Unlike many of you, I choose to drink wine whenever I so well choose. That said, this is a Merlot that I have had both in the morning, and at night.

It has a wonderful mild smokyness which permeates from the point at which you lift the glass near your mouth until well after you have consumed the last drop. The taste is both dark fruit and a whiff of dark chocolate, great for lovers and desserts.

I would choose to pair this wine with just about anything except for seafood, unless that seafood was indeed, spiced just right. This indeed is a wine for all seasons, as long as mated with the proper tongue/taste.

We believe in finding something that you like the taste of, outside of the basic brands that you have been force-fed over the years through a combination of ethnically targeted advertising, and what people in your family have historically been drinking.
