Stated a little more eloquently than Paul Giamatti in Sideways, “Je Déteste” sums up the feeling much of the world has had toward this wonderful and versatile grape for the past 20 years! We believe that we have moved past the wine snobbery of the early aughts and are in the perfect place to give the respect this noble grape deserves. Round on the palate with a blend of red and black fruit, there is also a hint of spice and beautiful minerality on the long finish. Enjoy it with a cheeseburger or pork chops off the grill, and shout with pride, “J’Aime le Merlot!”
