Tasting Notes
With optimal temperatures for a unprecedented growing season, 2005 afforded us the perfect weather for gorgeous fruit. Our Bliss Merlot takes advantage of Mother’s Nature kindness offering a rich wine displaying black cherry and oaky spice with a smooth finish.

Food Pairings
Versatile enough to pair with everything from rich cheeses to robust pastas. Perfect with braised pork, pasta with meat sauce, or enjoying a glass on its own.
