The first time I tried a “White Merlot” was many years ago and was made by Magnotta … what we’re talking about here is a pinky wine made exclusively from Merlot grapes, it makes a great splash around the pool or backyard when it’s hot and humid (decks and docks work too). This refreshing sipper is a one on the sugar code, but the nose would have you believe it’s even sweeter: cotton-candy, raspberry and banana are present at the forefront … while the flavours are mainly strawberry with a sweet lengthy finish. Plan your next salad or pool party around this one.
