Tannins are firm yet well-integrated, providing structure that supports the wine's rich flavors without overshadowing its elegance. The wine finishes with a satisfying dryness, making it an excellent companion for a variety of dishes, from savory roasted meats to hearty pasta. Enjoy this sophisticated Merlot as it reflects the unique character of its terroir, capturing the essence of Cienega Valley.
