Merlot

Merlot Wine Details
Price: $16.00 per bottle

Description: Even though Sideways slammed Merlot and Russ( a self proclaimed Pinot Noir winemaker in search of the holy grail of this most delicate and tempermental of all grapes and resultant wines) can relate to that comment. We believe the fruit that comes from this vineyard has distinctive characters not found in other Merlots.This 100% Merlot comes from the immaculately manicured Charianna Vineyard in Nevada County produces this wonderfully rich wine. This wine is full bodied with intense plum fruit flavors, remarkably well developed and balanced by ample tannins and acidity. There's an intriguing hint of black pepper in the long full finish. The grapes were picked late in the season and hand fermented, aged and bottled in Truckee.
