Wine Details
Price:
$23.22 per bottle
Description:
classic in style. Rich and dark with plum and berry characters. Smoke and chocolate nuances make the wine complex and elegant. Merlot typically shows the most rich, ripe fruity characters of the three Bordeaux varieties in the Finger Lakes. Fermentation is warm without pre-fermentation cold soaking, and cap management is aggressive. Limited whole clusters and moderate addition of stems combined with some post fermentation maceration enhance rich complex fruit and tannin. Oak selection favors newer barrels, but heavy, smoky characters are more moderate than with the Cabernet Sauvignon. Typically, a small amount of Cabernet Franc is used in blending in order to soften structure and enhance complexity
