Merlot, Sonoma Valley

Merlot, Sonoma Valley Wine Details
Price: $20.00 per bottle

Description: This powerful yet elegant Merlot is blended in the Bordeaux style, adding Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec and Petit Verdot for depth and complexity. The Merlot grapes were sourced from the Ricci Vineyard and Sangiacomo “Donnell Ranch” in the Carneros district of southern Sonoma Valley, as well as the Sahbari Mountain Vineyard on Sonoma Mountain. These cooler microclimates provide the longer growing season necessary for Merlot to ripen slowly and develop maximum flavor. It has a spicy bouquet, deep color and exhibits full-bodied flavors of cherry, blackberry and spice. Try it now with grilled fish, pasta, lamb and steaks, or cellar it for 5 to 7 years.
