2018 Santa Cruz Mountains Merlot "Sideways"
2018 Santa Cruz Mountains Merlot "Sideways"
The 2018 Merlot "Sideways" is a complex and inviting wine with an aromatic bouquet of sage, oregano, and clove. The front palate bursts with ripe strawberry sweetness, while the middle palate offers savory notes of soy sauce, black currant, black licorice, and a subtle forest floor earthiness. The finish is marked by refreshing cranberry notes. With low to medium tannins and low acidity, it pairs wonderfully with roasted duck, pork, sushi, or a beet salad, making it a versatile and enjoyable wine for a variety of dishes.
