Long before the tales of vampires spread, the Transylvanian people mastered the art of producing wine. Plato proclaimed the vineyards of Transylvania to be the finest in the world. Vampire Merlot has a lively dark purple color. The soft fruit flavors integrate well with the structure of this wine, which marries soft tannins with vanilla hints of fine American oak. It is perfect to enjoy now but has the structure to age. A big wine, Vampire Merlot can take on the biggest char-grilled steaks you can throw at it, but it also has the fine elegance of this classic variety, allowing it to be served at parties with buffet foods and dips. |
