Herricks Lane North Fork Merlot

Purchase Herricks Lane North Fork Merlot

What to expect: Merlot has gotten a bad rap as of late but there is no denying the wine's appeal. Packed with deep, dark berry fruit and nuanced hints of cocoa, herb and earth with a soft structure. Its velvety texture makes this Merlot instantly appealing and an obvious alternative to similar, more tannic Bordeaux varieties.

Food Pairings: Mushroom Pizza, Veal Parm
