Stevenot Merlot

Stevenot Merlot Wine Details
Price: $10.00 per bottle

Description: From several vineyards in Calaveras and El Dorado Counties this 2001 vintage produced red wines of great finesse and intensity. The separate lots were aged in a combination of French and American oak barrels for 14 months prior to gently racking and blending. This is a Bordeaux style Merlot, with 12% Cabernet Franc blended in for added complexity and structure. Black-Cherry mocha fruit and cedar and vanilla flavors layered with soft tannins make this Sierra Foothill Merlot a bold expression of our local terroir.
