The 2013 Central Coast Merlot has aromas of cherry pie, fresh berry cobbler, vanilla, mint, and baking spice. The palate is full bodied with red-fruit flavors and soft, round, approachable tannins. This wine pairs perfectly with filet mignon with chimichurri sauce, BBQ short ribs, and grilled portabella mushrooms. Blend: 90% Merlot, 5% Blaufrankisch, 3% Petit Verdot, 2% Cabernet Sauvignon
