Leaping Horse Merlot

Despite its playful name, Leaping Horse Merlot delivers a sophisticated depth that belies its easy-drinking nature. This California native offers a generous generosity of ripe plum and dark cherry, a comforting warmth without being heavy. It’s the kind of red that makes a Tuesday feel a bit more special, a smooth companion for everything from grilled sirloin to a simple cheese board.
