Our 2017 Smoking Loon Merlot shows fruit-forward characteristics with dark berry fruit, hints of cedar and a soft, balanced structure. The distinct natural barriers, abundant sunshine and cool temperatures of the Chilean region help to maintain healthy growing conditions and allow the wine to develop fresh fruit characteristics and crisp acidity. Try pairing with grilled Cuban flank steak, bacon wrapped pork chops, or Autumn salad with roasted butternut squash.
