알렉산더 밸리 메를로

The dark fruit and chocolate notes are beautifully balanced here, and it’s smooth enough to finish a glass without waiting for a heavy meal. Picked up a bottle for a cozy dinner at home, and it didn’t disappoint.

Poured a glass with a hearty beef stew and the mouth-feel was exactly as described—silky and full without being heavy. That dark fruit lingers nicely into a subtle chocolate finish that made the last sip as good as the first.

The dark fruit and chocolate notes really come through on the finish, and the mouth-feel is as generous as promised. Poured a glass alongside a slow-braised beef stew and it held up beautifully. This one's a keeper for cold evenings.
