The Folie a Deux 2018 Alexander Valley Merlot has bright, enticing blackberry, ripe cherries, dried fig and tea aromas with notes of tasty oak on the nose. The vanilla, Cherrywood smoke, chocolate and black raspberry flavors are concentrated and focused on the palate. This wine is full-bodied and fleshy with balanced acidity and fine-grained cocoa powder tannins on the finish. The Folie a Deux 2018 Alexander Valley Merlot is inviting making it a perfect complement to most meat dishes, such as Mediterranean lamb burgers or a slow cooked roast beef.

A delicious merlot with dark-fruit, chocolate and walnut aromas and flavors. Medium to full body, round tannins and a fruity finish. I like the herb and nut character that colors the fruit in the aftertaste. Drink or hold.
