Our Friday evening before dinner sipper is the white Merlot from New Kent Winery. The color is very light rose pink. On the nose we got stone fruit, mineral, peach, and pineapple. In the mouth we detected stone fruit and minerality again with some nectarine, pineapple and peach.
This is a refreshing sipper on a warm afternoon. We had it with St. Andre’s cheese and sliced peaches.
We are going to Cena in Norfolk today to have a second tasting of this wine! We were at New Kent for the wine tour and really enjoyed this one. Cena will have 4 of the wine there today with JR from the winery pouring.
