The Crusher Merlot is expressive, with focused aromas of black raspberry, mocha and fennel fronds, along with a hint of smokiness. Juicy, slightly tart flavors of plum and blackberry contribute to the bright acidity of this wine and are accompanied by cocoa powder and dried strawberry notes. On the finish, toasty French oak influence comes through as caramel, warm spice, and cinnamon stick. Try this medium-bodied merlot with spaghetti and meatballs, spicy jambalaya, or roast chicken. 100% Merlot.
