Kunde Merlot 2016 category_California Still Wine especially when the wine hasSupple and velvety textured, our 2015 Merlot offers a delectable mix of blackberry, clove, and brown sugar aromas. The core flavors are a complex weave of blackberry and black cherry with a hint of butterscotch that play out against a full mouth tannin structure.
