Merlot

Merlot Wine Details
Price: $16.00 per bottle

Description: A Merlot and Cabernet Franc blend (90% - 10%) with a big, fat, black-raspberry fruit nose and a hint of cedar mint. Very soft mouthfeel with balanced tannin for structure and complexity. The growing year was perfect weather, producing 1194 cases. Malolactic fermentation and barrel aging for 20 months - 10 months in new barrels, then 10 months in old barrels. Unfiltered and oenologically reductive, this wine opens beautifully in the glass.
