Merlot Sonoma County

Merlot Sonoma County Wine Details
Price: $26.00 per bottle

Description: 2002 was an ideal vintage in Sonoma County. Moderate weather conditions allowed the grapes to experience a "long hang time" to develop rich flavors and ripe, supple tannins. Merlot is the flagship varietal for Lambert Bridge and winemaker Julia Iantosca has again captured the essence of Lambert Bridge’s signature wine. With this vintage our winemaking focus is shifting to smaller production lots using more concentrated fruit. The resulting wine demonstrates flavors of ripe plum, red berry and spice. While the composition may vary slightly from vintage to vintage, this Bordeaux style blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Malbec continues to produce a full-bodied wine with refined tannins and rich, velvety fruit flavors.
