Wine By Nine

Red Wine by Rutherford Ranch from Napa Valley, California. Rutherford Ranch 2005 Napa Valley Merlot has bright, inviting aromas of cranberry, black currant and succulent blueberry wrapped around rich, dark chocolate and vanilla. This medium-body wine opens with fresh blackberry and cranberry laced with flavors of creamy mocha and dried cherry. Abundant, mouthwatering flavors combined with soft, supple tannins lead to a long, satisfying finish. Food Pairings: It is love at first sip when you serve this Merlot with grilled lamb skewers, roasted pork loin, beef stew or wild game.
