Mirlo Merlot 2024
Classic Movie Pairing
Here Comes Mr. Jordan (1941)This supple, silky Merlot is perfect for casual enjoyment—much like this witty and easy-going comedy makes for thoroughly relaxed entertainment. Starring Robert Montgomery, Evelyn Keyes and Claude Rains, the film tells the story of prizefighter Joe Pendleton who dies before his time and is reincarnated as a tycoon with a murderous wife. The clever premise proved so popular it was remade as Heaven Can Wait (1978) and Down to Earth (2001). With seven Academy Award nominations and stellar reviews, both wine and film are proven crowd pleasers.

Wine Flavor Profile
While “less is more” holds true for many things, Round the Blend champions the case for “more is more.” Made from several grape varieties, all sourced from California’s Lodi region, this opulent, full-bodied red is far more than the sum of its parts.

“This lush red is so food friendly! I love it with smoked brisket followed by spiced plum compote with vanilla ice cream.”
