Wine of the Month

Cru International Washington Merlot

About This Wine

Aromas of sweet cherry and vanilla introduce this Merlot. The silky palate displays flavours of red berries, juicy plums and a touch of caramel and mocha; the finish is soft and begs you to drink more.

Fast Fact

In the past five years, Washington Merlot has been pushed to the shadows – a little – by the rise of Cabernet Sauvignon. But in Washington, Merlot is a big, bold red, providing structure to many wines.

Food Pairings

In general Merlot pairs well with chicken and other light meats as well as lightly-spiced dark meats. With medium tannin and not too much acidity you’ll find Merlot pairs well with many foods.
