N41 W72 Merlot Cuvee

N41 W72 Merlot Cuvee Wine Details
Price: $11.99 per bottle

Description: This red wine was named for the North Fork's geographical latitude and longitude, the coordinates for great Merlot. The 41/72 Merlot Cuvee was aged mainly in older oak barriques for 12 months and then another 12 months in large oak casks. The somewhat longer than usual pre-bottle aging was to facilitate its accessibility upon release, and to soften and smooth out the wine. This Merlot has soft cherry notes with subtle hints of coffee and chocolate with a smooth but firm tannin structure. An affordable everyday wine, meant to drink young. Perfect with pasta,roast chicken, burgers, and everyone's favorite, pizza.
