New "Big Red" Release
2005 Reserve Merlot

We at Wiens Family Cellars have become known for our extraordinary Merlots. Our 2005 Reserve does not disappoint! Luscious red fruit flavors of raspberry and strawberry, sturdy yet supple tannins, and a very friendly personality make it no wonder that Merlot has become the darling of red wines. This one has the character to pair well with heavier dishes such as roasted, broiled, or barbecued beef, but also has elegance to complement lighter entrees like Wellington or Stroganoff.

Only 122 Cases Produced!

2005 Reserve Merlot
Regular Price: $37
