Du Sol Merlot

[{"label":"On the nose","body":"A welcoming wine. Plush plum and ripe mulberry are the first lift, followed by mocha, dark chocolate, and a soft floral note — violets, dried rose."},{"label":"On the palate","body":"Generous and round. The fruit fills the front of the palate; the tannins are silky and well-resolved, the oak present but quiet. There is a sweet-spice character in the mid-palate — cocoa, cinnamon, a hint of vanilla."},{"label":"The finish","body":"Long and velvet-smooth. The plum lingers; the tannin holds shape without ever drying. A wine that rewards a second glass."},{"label":"At the table","body":"Roast duck, mushroom risotto, beef stew, a herb-crusted rack of lamb. Equally happy alongside a board of camembert and ripe pears."}]
