Merlot
Savoring everyday moments as toast-worthy occasions, we raise our glass to Merlot. Inspired by the rich warmth and beauty of a sunset enjoyed at the end of the day, Merlot brings to life sophisticated layers of warm gray, oaky brown and spiced sienna with deep red and purple undertones for a complex arrangement that exudes refinement.
