Hello and welcome to another addition of TheGrape.com's video wine library! Today we're featuring
a Merlot from Leonetti Cellars in Walla Walla, Washington. Priced around $99 dollars, this
Merlot can be purchased at Total Wine, Whole Foods, select wine stores and vineyard direct.
Considered to be one of the best Merlot's of 2011, this wine is an experience you must
try if you can! Our suggested wine rating for this Merlot is Grape Certified Gold as
it maintains four stars amongst its reviewers. Its excellence and tradition lead this wine
towards the potential of a great one! Although the Leonetti Merlot can be pleasing to drink
upon purchase, we recommend lying it down for a bit. We suggest drinking it between
the years of 2015 and 2025 to truly appreciate the full potential of this red wine. The aroma
of Leonetti's Merlot is a fresh scented one with notes of spring flowers, black cherries
and plum seducing your nose towards another taste. Involved flavors of pepper, licorice,
plum and currant fruits greet you in the beginning of this wine while polished tannins guide
you through a refined finish tasting of herbs and black olives. This complete balance of
structure, fruit and spice make the Leonetti Merlot an ideal option to pair with foods
such as Meatloaf, Scallion and Bree stuffed burgers and even a Caesar Salad with Meatballs.

We thank you for your time today and hope you keep living the grape life! Cheers!
