Chateau La Mothe Du Barry Bordeaux Superieur

Merlot is a type of red wine made from the dark-skinned variety of the grape known as Vitis Vinifera (sounds fancy but it's just the common grape vine.) It has a deep, ruby red color and a dry, medium-bodied palate with moderate tannins and aromas of blackberry, plum, and spice. Merlot is often blended with other red wines, such as cabernet sauvignon and syrah, to create rich, full bodied wines with higher tannin content. Try a merlot with pasta dishes, red meats, pizza, and even mild cheeses.
