Price:
$13.00 per bottle
Description:
We gently destemmed the grapes without crushing them to obtain more full berries and then cold soaked for one or two days before inoculating for fermentation. Fewer pump-overs and shorter maceration time than in the past helped create a softer wine with velvety tannins. After aging all the lots separately in mostly American oak barrels for 12 months, we finally blended together the wines from the Four Corners to enhance each single vineyard's characteristics and to produce a wine of great expression.This year, the addition of selected Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah enriched the mid-palate and also enhanced the ultimate flavors.
This bright garnet-color Merlot displays a vibrant nose of ripe Bing cherry and mixed berries with notes of violet and cocoa. This delicate and medium-bodied wine shows a great deal of flavors like Bing cherry, vanilla and a splash of blueberry.The palate is very soft and round thanks to fine tannins.The fruit expression lingers on a pleasing finish.
