Merlot

Merlot Reserve Wine Details
Price: $25.95 per bottle

Description: Vintage 2002. Made only in the best vintages, this second edition of our Merlot Reserve benefitted from a three week maceration, which enhanced the tannic structure of the fruit, while malolactic fermentation added a silky quality to the palate. Fourteen months in French and American oak mellowed the blend considerably, creating a soft, lush wine showing strong flavors of Provencal herbs, ripe cherry and dark chocolates that should improve nicely over the next three years. 190 cases.
