Merlot

Merlot Wine Details
Price: $26.00 per bottle

Description: Once upon a time, there was a rare wine named Merlot. Everybody wanted to drink some, but there just wasn't enough to go around. Then a lot of people decided to plant more Merlot to meet the demand... but many people didn't realize that Merlot is almost as site specific as Pinot Noir. They discovered that drinkable Merlot could be made from a lot of locations... but great Merlot came from only a few locations. RSV’s Los Carneros of Napa Valley Merlot is a wine with a sense of place. The Carneros region is perfect for the early ripening Merlot grape. Long growing season. Warm days. Cool evenings. Perfect conditions to allow the Merlot grape to achieve optimal ripeness while maintaining mouthwatering acidity. The Carneros climate helps the wine to develop flavors of dried cherry and blueberry with complex notes of dried herb with a texture that envelopes one’s tongue. Perfect for full flavored cuisine.
