{"product_id":"2021-monarch-glen-merlot","title":"2021 Monarch Glen Merlot","description":"A single glass of this 2021 Monarch Glen Merlot will leave you floating like a butterfly.\r\n\r\nJuicy red and black cherries breathe life into this mouthwatering Merlot. Violet petals bring a burst of fragrance while hints of oak in the form of walnut and caramel infuse natural nuttiness into the sipping experience. Vigorous tannins round out a truly full-bodied Californian red wine, garnering this Merlot the Silver Medal award in the 2021 Harvest Challenge Wine Competition. \r\n\r\nMerlot served as little more than a primary blending grape in Bordeaux red blends for hundreds of years. Indeed, Merlot roughly translates to “little blackbird,” owing to its oft-overlooked profile. That is until this little black grape experienced a renaissance in appreciation in the 20th century. It’s no wonder, as this fruit-forward and silky varietal often match Cabernet Sauvignon for flavor without the quintessential red’s extra-bold tannic structure. \r\n\r\nWe recommend serving this Californian Merlot just below room temperature with exquisite culinary company. Think spicy beef and broccoli chow mein, pork tenderloin, or a creamy white cheddar chili.\r\n","brand":"MacysWine Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45309172973857,"sku":"N01434","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/9602\/6657\/files\/full_f7700891-7e70-4622-8759-cb3de2ca6a97.png?v=1780691497","url":"https:\/\/macyswineshop.com\/products\/2021-monarch-glen-merlot","provider":"MacysWine Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
