Abeja Merlot Columbia Valley 2022 (750ml) ChiantiThis one hundred percent Merlot has really nice, bright red fruit, rose petals, and a richness on the nose. Flavors of plum, mountain strawberry and mocha come together with a balanced mouth feel and a long finish.

Sexy aromas of dark raspberry, mocha, red licorice, tobacco, minerals and cocoa nibs
