RIDGEBACK Merlot

Ridgeback Merlot from Paarl, South Africa, this Merlot delivers intense aromas of dark plum, mulberry and liquor ice with a hint of mint, leading into a generously juicy mid-palate cradled by ripe tannins and lingering pepper-wood spice, balanced with well-integrated oak character. Sits at 14.5% ABV and contains sulfites.

Food pairings: Ideal with game meats like ostrich, beef steak, venison, or rich tomato-based sauces.

VIVINO RATING:3.9
