Barefoot Merlot
Motorcycle 
One of the most popular varieties of red grape, Merlot is a smooth, easy drinking beauty of a wine. Barefoot Merlot Wine is one of our finest; an award-winning combination that complements a wide range of foods but is also big enough and bold enough to stand on its own as a bit of a show-stopper.

Type:
Red wine
ABV:

Tasting Notes:
Barefoot Merlot typically exhibits aromas of ripe red fruits such as plum, cherry, and raspberry, often accompanied by hints of vanilla and spice. On the palate, expect flavors of dark berries, plum, and sometimes chocolate or cedar, with a medium-bodied structure and soft, velvety tannins. The wine is known for its smooth and approachable character, often with a lingering finish.
Best Paired with:
Roast Chicken: Merlot pairs well with roast chicken or other poultry dishes. Its medium body and fruity flavors enhance the flavors of the chicken without overpowering them.
Pasta with Tomato Sauce: Merlot pairs well with pasta dishes featuring tomato-based sauces, such as spaghetti bolognese or pasta with marinara sauce. The wine's acidity can help cut through the acidity of the tomatoes, balancing the flavors.
Soft Cheeses: Merlot pairs nicely with soft cheeses like brie or camembert. The wine's fruitiness and smooth texture complement the creamy texture of the cheese, creating a harmonious combination.
Grilled Meats: Merlot's smooth texture and fruity flavors make it an excellent match for grilled meats such as steak, lamb chops, or burgers. The wine's acidity and soft tannins complement the charred flavors from the grill.
Vegetarian Dishes: Merlot can complement vegetarian dishes such as mushroom risotto, vegetable lasagna, or grilled portobello mushrooms. The wine's earthy notes can harmonize with the flavors of the vegetables.
