Selendi 2010 Merlot (Aegean)

Country: Turkey /
Variety: Merlot Aegean
Winery: Selendi /

Deep red violet to the eye, this wine offers aromas of ripe cherry, pomegranate and orange zest. There is a sensation of coolness dominating fruit, with flavors of blackberry, pomegranate, menthol, clove and orange zest. It is a bit chewy on the palate; the strong tannins are crying out to be served alongside grilled lamb or beef.
