Winexpert Reserve Merlot - California

Merlot is one of the most popular red varietals in the world, and for good reason. Soft, velvety, and sophisticated, this wine often needs less ageing than other reds before it's ready to impress.

This wine features notes of chocolate, black cherry, and vanilla spice.

California is one of the most important wine regions. If it were a country, it would be the fourth largest wine producer worldwide. Californian wines are characterized by their fruit-forwardness due to the reliably warm weather.

Merlot drinks well by itself but is really at its best when paired with foods. Beef and chicken are great protein choices, especially when grilled. Cheese options include brie, cheddar, and Gorgonzola. Californian Merlot is also a great choice for rich desserts like strawberry cheesecake or chocolate brownies.
