MAN Vintners Merlot 2009

This wine is a classically styled Merlot showcasing all that makes Merlot such a crowd-pleasing wine: bold red-berry fruit and oak spice aromas with plush, ripe berry fruit and chocolate flavours. Soft, gentle tannins with a long finish.

This Merlot will be wonderful just by itself or paired with lamb stew, lasagne, pizza, barbeque, and a wide range of other dishes.
