Korbel Merlot Champagne

Korbel Merlot Champagne Wine Details
Price:

Description: The 1999 Korbel Merlot Champagne is an experimental cuvee made from merlot grown in the Sonoma Valley and Russian River areas of Sonoma County. These areas produce very intense fruit driven varietal flavors in merlot. The merlot grapes used in this cuvee were fermented on the skins, in the traditional red wine manner. After barrel aging, the cuvee was bottle fermented in the Methode Champenoise tradition, combining the richness of merlot table wines, with the fun and sparkle of champagne.
