A classic expression of California Merlot, this full-bodied red brings together ripe red plum, juicy black cherry, cocoa, and layers of subtle oak for a rich, velvety sip. Smooth yet structured, it showcases the approachable elegance that makes Merlot a favorite, with enough depth to complement everything from a savory pork roast and creamy blue cheese to a fresh Mediterranean flatbread or a perfectly topped pizza. A beautifully balanced wine with plenty of character, the 2023 Dove Hunt Dog Merlot is one you'll want to keep coming back to.
