Leopards Leap Merlot 2017

A medium to full-bodied, red fruit-driven wine made in a New-world style. Nose: Prominent red fruit aromas of strawberry and hints of blueberry. Subtle notes of toasted almonds and nutmeg aromas that follow through on the palate.

Enjoy this Merlot with a roasted tomato-based pasta or beef brisket. The more adventurous can experiment with dark chocolate inspired desserts.
