Beaulieu Vineyard’s 2022 Reserve Merlot exhibits the delicate, soft, round structure that
characterizes fruit from Napa’s valley vineyards. Fine aromas of dried fennel, sage, and hazelnut mingle with red cherry for an engaging introduction to this approachable wine. Its pretty pomegranate color reflects onto the palate with fresh, tart sweetness, and time in French oak imparted a frosting of hazelnut milk chocolate flavor. Bright acidity gives this wine lovely balance, medium body, and a very focused finish. Enjoy now on its own or with seared lamb chops, cauliflower steak, and gyros.
