Tasting notes

Not as full-bodied as Cabernet, not quite as fruityas Chianti, our Merlot delivers rich flavors of ripe raspberry and cherry, wrapped in a velvety softness that give it a character and quality all its own. The smooth finish of this wine is especially pleasing. 12 Months Serving Temperature: Room Temperature (60ºF)

Food pairing

Our Merlot’s bold flavors and smooth style make it a great match for meat, pasta, or a hearty vegetarian dish. This wine is a great alternative to Burgundy! With its characteristic softness, Livingston Cellarsspan Merlot can be admirably used to contrast dishes with big, bold flavors like pasta arrabiata, or to complement more subtly flavored recipes like eggplant parmesan.
