Merlot Estate

Merlot Estate Wine Details
Price: $18.00 per bottle

Description: Black currant fruit with round tannins and rich flavors. The 2000 Estate Merlot is grown on a split canopy trellis system or "Lyre", shaped like the letter "Y". This shape splits the vertical canopy, opening the canopy allowing dappled sunlight and abundant airflow. The vine responds by producing numerous half sized clusters with smaller berries. In essence creating a higher skin to juice ratio in the grape, which in turn produces more intense flavors and deeper, richer flavors in the wine.
