Packaging is Everything

Merlot
Within this uniquely shaped bottle with the slightly curved neck is a sustainably grown Merlot-Cabernet Sauvignon blend, Vin de Pays D’Oc, from Southern France.  As you can see it has not been opened, not because the want is not there and not because the food pairing is not there, but because time is needed to ponder the shear beauty and creative thought that went into the design and craftsmanship of the bottle that would would house its contents.  Being from a moderately climed region, there is little doubt that its contents would smell and taste of subtle deep berries and black cherries and earth with a hint of black currant…..one would also imagine the complete balance of fruit, tannin and alcohol with a medium to long length based on the 12.5% indicated on the bottle.  ok enough on that….when the pondering is over, it will be opened and it will be paired with red wine braised short ribs:)

enjoy
