The Smiley Merlot appears a bright red color with purplish tints in the glass. Its explosive nose reveals intense sensations of stone red fruits including cherries and morello cherries, but also black currants and blackberries. Its mouth is moreish, slightly sweet, and the tannins are supple and silky. A soft and aromatic sensation gives this supple wine an extremely pleasing finish.
Ideal for a relaxed dinner, enjoy Smiley Merlot with a Roasted Chicken or Mediterranean plates.

Beautiful notes of rose petals and vanilla lead the nose. Flavors of blackberry and plum are followed by cedar and sweet tobacco. A good balance of fruit, secondary flavors, acidity and tannin structure lead toward a solid finish. Best Buy
