Merlot tends to be overlooked. It’s often seen as lacking a clear identity or dismissed as just a blending grape, but the 2023 Nest Merlot is proof that Merlot can be anything but forgettable. Grown along California’s cool Northern coast, this medium-bodied red is everything you want a Merlot to be. Juicy fruit flavors of cherry and raspberry take center stage, backed by enough structure to go toe-to-toe with big, meaty dishes like burgers and ribs. Trust us, your barbecues will never be the same with a bottle of this on your table.
