The Pennywise Merlot 2013 brims with delicious fruit and spice flavors. A deep garnet color in the glass, the wine shows inviting aromas of clove, cedar, pomegranate, and black cherry. On tasting, vivid flavors of wild strawberry, red raspberry, chocolate, and graham cracker abound. The texture of the wine is smooth and nicely balanced, for an approachable and flavorful wine.

Enjoy this Merlot with a variety of foods. It’s delicious with meals like stewed chicken and rice, fresh pasta in marinara sauce, or even Hawaiian-style pizza.
