Third of three bottles for a surf-and-turf bbq, and it was the unexpected favorite of them all. Perfectly matched with both the tri-tip and Belizean shrimp, and the color, nose, fruits, spices, and mouth feel offered a wonderful complement to main dishes and sides, from the first sip to the last.ļæ¼

This is a cab drinkerā€™s merlot. Rich and powerful. Comparable to Freemark Abbey Merlot Bosche. But more expensive.
