$18.00 per bottle
Description:
Merlot is enjoying a surge in popularity and additional acreage is being planted in many major producing regions. It came to California in the mid-1860s and has become one of the most popular wines since its surge in United States' popularity in the 1990s.
The Merlot grape is a close cousin to Cabernet Sauvignon in many respects. It is lower in tannins and makes wines that mature faster and are softer in texture. Merlot is often blended with bold reds in order to soften the strong tannic acids and allow the wines to be consumed much earlier. Select Merlots can have long aging potential but most are ready to consume in 4 to 8 years.
Our Merlot is well balanced with a rich, silky texture and a long, supple finish . There are pronounced fruit flavors of blackberry and cherry with hints of blueberry. Since it is a medium-bodied wine, it really expresses its flavors when paired with game birds, veal or pork. It is great for just sipping, too.
