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, I could go on and on.
