At Taste of Christmas Franc Arman’s Merlot 2008 from Croatia was a very popular red in the Tickler Cheese and Wine Masterclasses and if you are still undecided as to what to enjoy with your roast turkey then according to The Wine Tipster look no further. The Franc Arman Merlot 2008, Vrhunsko, abv 13.5%, £22.66 per bottle or £21.48 per bottle for a mixed case of 12 bottles is available from Croatian Fine Wines www.croatianfinewines.com . The Merlot vines are grown in Terra Rossa soil at the very top of the south side of the Mirna Valley in Istria, where the warm sea air from the Adriatic keeps the vines free from damp. The 2007 was Franc Arman’s first vintage  of Merlot, which was an impressive start, whilst his 2008 is excellent, with sweet fruits on the nose of plums, blackcurrants, blackberry, followed by spicy, herbaceous character with juicy damson and plum fruit on the palate. This full bodied well structured, yet smooth, silky red is an ideal match for your turkey roast.  Cheers!
