JSU Merlot

Gamecock Red Merlot offers softer tannins than Cabernet Sauvignon, but equal concentration and elegance. The aromas of black cherry, vanilla and toasty spice are intertwined with the fresh fruit flavors of cherry and currant which blends gently with vanilla and French oak. The wine is medium bodied, supple in texture, well-balanced on the palate, with a long, lingering finish. Its gentle balance of tannins and acidity make it the perfect companion to a grilled flat iron steak with blue cheese butter or pasta with sausage and roasted tomatoes.
