MERLOT RESERVE - Santa Ynez Valley, Estate Bottled

MERLOT RESERVE - Santa Ynez Valley, Estate Bottled Wine Details
Price:

Description: Our 2000 Merlot Reserve hails from four vineyard blocks at our winery estate. These blocks were hand-harvested and crafted as individual lots. From these lots, we selected those barrels that best exemplified the quality, character and concentration of the 2000 vintage. These barrels were held for extended aging, then blended to create this limited-production wine. Our 2000 Merlot Reserve boasts a vivid bouquet of black cherry, chocolate and cedar. Flavors of black cherry, plum and cassis unfold across a broad texture with accents of caramel and toasted oak. Smoothly integrated tannins engage a luxurious, lingering finish.
