Merlot

Merlot Wine Details
Price: $46.00 per bottle

Description: The 2000 vintage produced ideal growing conditions for our Merlot. The cool temperatures in our mountain vineyards allow for a nice long hang-time which results in grapes with intense varietal fruit characteristics. The 2000 JARVIS Merlot is a blend of 96% Merlot and 4% Cabernet Sauvignon which was barrel aged for 18 months in new French Nevers oak. The aroma of this Merlot is rich in dark fruit and violets, with a touch of toasty vanilla. It's intense plum, spicy cherry, and chocolate flavors linger through its elegant finish. Although very approachable and ready for enjoyment upon release, with proper aging this wine will continue to age beautifully over the next 5-7 years.
