Tasting note:

Vintages Wine Panel: This full-flavoured Merlot has garnered numerous awards at wine competitions throughout the world. Filled with cherry/berry aromas and flavours, this finely balanced wine will reward a brief stay in the cellar (1-2 years) or enjoy it tonight. My note: Good acidic bite makes this an ideal food companion. Lovely fleshy plum and berry notes. Medium-bodied and silky. Food matches: grilled lamb chops.

Natalie who?
Yes, I'm a certified sommelier and was named the World's Best Wine Writer at the World Food Media Awards. Blah, blah, blah. What really matters is that I know which wines can increase your hedonistic happiness... a lot. Don't worry, spam doesn't pair well with wine!
