Our 2008 Verismo Merlot is lightly blended with Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Syrah to produce an exceptionally delicious wine. It has tempting aromas of crisp fresh berries, red currants, and light asian spices. This feels very round and supple with hints of mocha, cassis, and vanilla bean. This is Verismo's first Merlot, and we are pleased with the results. Any true wine connoiseur needs to have a bottle of this on hand.
