Merlot got a bad rap in 2004 and struggled for several years before coming back into favor with wine lovers. The 2016 Lily Rock Lodi Merlot is a great reason to love this grape. From its dark, crystal clear, ruby red color to its traditional flavors and aromas of cedar, tobacco and dark red cherries you’ll find a benchmark Merlot that you’ll come back for again and again! Pair this wine with all kinds of food like grilled tri tip, filet mignon with a Merlot pan sauce, lightly sauced pork or beef ribs, your favorite hamburger, pizza, and so much more!
