Fresh Red Merlot

Fresh Red Merlot Wine Details
Price: $15.00 per bottle

Description: Fresh Red Merlot, affectionately know around the winery as Fred, is such a nice, pleasant guy. He is comfortable in almost any situation. Fred dresses down for the BBQ and loves a formal table too. Fred adores fish, beef, pork, vegetables, pizza, pasta and just about anything you put in front of him. Fred is smooth and supple, medium-bodied, 100% Merlot and full of exuberant red cherry and red plum attitude. Fred is fun, friendly, easy-going, silky and spicy. Fred’s so cool in the summertime he even takes well to a slight chill. So the next dinner or date, drink or picnic, party or casual evening at home, invite Fred along. He complements your food, your friends and is just good to have around. We have made some changes with this vintage-bottle for one. We finally have matched the style of the wine to the style of the bottle. Our Fresh Red is made and tastes more like a regional Burgundy or Beaujolais Cru than a wine from Bordeaux. As a result we have placed the wine in a Burgundian bottle to reflect its true style. 2004 was also a warmer and drier year than 2003 and as a result the 2004 Fresh Red is a little deeper and plumper than the previous vintage. The wine spent only two months in oak and is still the light, charming, versatile and yummy Fred we have all come to know and love.
