I like Merlot with steak almost as much as I like Cab. So we paired a bottle of Josh Merlot with our medium rare fillet hot off the grill, and enhanced the meal with a salad made with fresh vine-ripe tomatoes from a nearby farm. It was excellent!
The nose on this Merlot suggests blackberries and sweet cherries, and the flavors affirm the aroma, with a touch of vanilla and a mellow finish. The alcohol content is 13.5%, and Norm's score is 88.

The Josh Merlot was a good choice for our fillet, and would be an excellent companion for almost anything coming off your summertime grill!
