Tasting notes

Not your typical Merlot when grown at extreme altitudes like these. Surprisingly versatile at the table. Dark berry, nutty notes and floral aspects with a bit of dried fruit and a hint of spice, over supple acidity and velvety tannins. From the Abbott Vineyard, planted along the Rio Grande in 1989.

Pairs with

Mole sauce, pepper steak or herb roasted potatoes
