Description

James Suckling Review
Rated 91
Attractive nose of blueberries, strawberries, burnt sage and mint chocolate. Creamy and full-bodied with broad tannins. Grilled-herb undertones add interest to the ripe berry fruit. Drink or hold.

Wine Tasting Notes
This highly textured, medium-bodied Merlot reveals layers of dark raspberry, boysenberry and cocoa notes in the nose that translate into fleshy black fruit and chocolate flavors in the mouth. Brimming with a tremendous amount of texture and length, this wine should age gracefully for a minimum of 12-15 years.

How to Serve Liquor – Quick Tips

Temperature Matters: Serve whiskey and bourbon at room temperature, vodka chilled, and tequila slightly cool to preserve aroma and balance.
Choose the Right Glass: Use a rocks glass for whiskey, a flute or coupe for sparkling spirits, and a tulip or snifter for aged liquors.
Don’t Rush the Pour: Allow spirits to breathe for a few moments before tasting — it softens alcohol notes and opens complex flavors.
Savor with Intention: Sip slowly, appreciate aroma before taste, and pair thoughtfully with food or fine company.
