Veramar 2008 Estate Club Merlot (Virginia)

Country: US / Estate Club
Variety: Merlot Virginia
Winery: Veramar / Virginia

Rich and round, this offers plenty of concentrated blackberry notes enveloped in warm spices and supple oak. There’s a hint of green tomato leaves throughout, but the lush fruit combined with sturdy grape tannins and high acidity would pair well with fatty short ribs or braised pork.
