This light/medium-bodied Central Coast Merlot drinks very young and I recommend it be uncorked at least an hour before drinking or it be poured through an aerator. This will help it soften up and get more of the Merlot roundness the grape is known for.
The 2016 Fair Oaks Ranch Merlot is affordable, light, fruity easy drinking wine.
Looks: Transparent ruby red in the glass
Smell: Bright cherry and dark berries aromas
Taste: Juicy cherry and fresh raspberry flavors with some oaky/chocolatey notes on the palate
Texture and Finish: Light/medium-bodied, sweet/tart on the finish
Pairings: Grilled meats – beef or lamb, cheesy burger

Cheers,
Veronique
