Four Cousins Collection Merlot 3L (13.5% Alc/Vol)

Gentle berry and vanilla notes rise from the glass before layers of mulberry, juicy plum and summer berries unfold on the palate. Four months on French-oak staves lend a subtle mocha sheen and round the supple tannins, while bright acidity keeps the medium-bodied wine lively and food-friendly. Bottled young for fresh, fruit-first appeal, this smooth Merlot handles week-night pasta as effortlessly as a relaxed weekend roast.
