Revel here in the ripe, generous fruit of this juicy Merlot from a family estate deep in the heart of Cathar country. It's a wild landscape, dotted with ancient castle ruins, perched impossibly high on top of craggy hillsides. In 1919, Joseph Cases founded Domaine Saint Martin, close to Carcassonne and the Corbières mountains. He chose an idyllic site for his vines. Surrounded by pines, holm oaks, almond trees, cistus and broom, it's a fragrant landscape. The warm Mediterranean climate has proved perfect for Bordeaux grapes too, both Merlot and Cabernet, as well as other non-native varietals. Third-generation Henry Cases made this silky red in the family's 100th anniversary year. Juicy plum fruit, it's tasty great with sausage and mash.
