Sterling Vineyards® Merlot

Sterling Vineyards® Reserve Merlot Wine Details
Price: $70.00 per bottle

Description: Sterling Vineyards 2002 Reserve Merlot was created from our finest grapes of this vintage. The individual lots were selected based on the highest intensity of flavor, color, varietal concentration and tannin structure. Winemaker Mike Westrick’s vision for the Sterling Vineyards Reserve Merlot is simple. He strives to create something that stands out not only as great wine, but also a varietally true Merlot. The 2002 Reserve Merlot has a brilliant deep ruby hue with aromas of plum jam, cinnamon, and nutmeg with just a hint of root beer. On the palate, the wine exhibits toasty oak, cherries, milk chocolate, ripe plum, and baking spices. The finish is long, soft and ripe. This is a beautiful wine with roasted meat or savory cheeses.
