Wine Details
Price:
$20.00 per bottle
Description:
Our Merlot comes from a distinctive, low-yielding vineyard that was planted in 1972 in the heart of California's Shenandoah Valley. These mountain vines produce intensely-flavored fruit that create a wine that is rich, complex, and elegant. 1999 was a particularly cool year with the mid-October harvest being almost a month late. The wine exhibits characteristically St.-Émilion like styling with hints of cedar, exotic tea, and plush plummy berry fruit. Two week fermentation with a special Bordelaise yeast strain, all hand-punched in the vat, and 18 months in French cooperage. Bottled unfiltered. See what a real Merlot should taste like.
