Ultimate Beverage Challenge 87 points - This is an indulgent, fruit-driven merlot with flavors ranging from toasted oak all of the way to a picnic fruit salad. The body is full and lush, but the tannins are whisper-soft making for an easy going and pleasing wine..June/2016

Gallo Family Vineyards Merlot is rich with dark fruits and carries just a hint of oak. It’s a full-bodied red wine which makes it easy to pair with just about anything, from pork to poultry to pasta. The Gallo family has over 80 years of family ownership and wine making experience.

Smooth and approachable fruit flavor matches very well with a wide range of foods including pork roast, pasta with rich tomato sauce, poultry, as well as grilled meats and vegetables.
