Winemaker Notes
An extremely deep garnet red. An expressive aroma of red berry notes, like cherry and raspberry, and also blackcurrant. With good length on the palate, this wine reveals soft and silky tannins. This wine goes particularly well with roast poultry, salads and mature cheeses.

COMMENTARY: The 2020 Alexis Lichine Chevalier Merlot is nicely built and pleasing on the palate. TASTING NOTES: This wine excels with aromas and flavors of black fruits, stones-in-the-desert, and licorice. Enjoy it with a lightly-spiced meat stew. (Tasted: January 10, 2023, San Francisco, CA)
