Raymond Merlot Nostalgic Cost Plus

The Nostalgic Napa Valley Merlot opens with rich aromas of red cherry, plum and currant that are brilliantly accented with notes of raspberry, clove and spicy earth. Bing cherry, cassis and baked rhubarb flavors fill the palate and are complemented by hints of tobacco, coffee and black pepper. This is a well-balanced wine with good structure, full round flavors and a lingering vanilla finish. This versatile wine will pair well with a variety of dishes. We suggest trying it with peppercorn marinated flank steak or braised duck with a cherry sauce.
