Wente Merlots are consistently good. Can be drunk by itself or with food. A personal favorite.

Medium bodied Merlot, similar to a light cab. Great tannins, begged my mouth for protein!

Deep purple color. Aromas of plum, blackberry, cherry and oak. Baking spices, graphite/lead and vanilla notes. Paired nicely with Italian sausage rigatoni.
