The Grapes of Roth Merlot 2020 B

• Vintage: 2020
• Appellation: Long Island
• Type: Red Wine
• Alcohol by Volume: 13.5

Dark ruby with a red brick hue in color. Beautiful ripe aromas of cassis, ripe plumbs, chocolate, hints of cinnamon and sandalwood fill the glass. The mouthfeel is rich and round and very flamboyant with great concentration of fruit, laced with elegant spiciness, hints of black pepper, some olive tapenade, milk chocolate and layers of soft velvet tannins. There is a lovely fine licorice note, fig compote and well-integrated toasted oak on the long and classic finish. This Merlot is very food friendly and has the power for great longevity for years to come.

Serve slightly cooler or just at room temperature. Pair this merlot with dishes you might think of for big, bold wines: steak, cassoulet, Duck and decadent dark chocolate desserts.
