The Velvet Devil Merlot

When Hollywood’s surprise hit Sideways suddenly spawned anti-Merlot sentiment everywhere, Charles Smith Wines  rebuffed the movie’s unflattering depiction of this great varietal with The Velvet Devil Merlot.


This Merlot offers deep and delicious black fruit, cedar, and cassis. It conveys concentrated richness and yet purity and focus. And all for a price that will not add any maladroit distaste to its finish.
