Merlot, Sonoma Valley, 2005

Merlot, Sonoma Valley, 2005 Wine Details
Price: $44.00 per bottle

Description: If Merlot was the first varietal worthy of carrying the Ledson name on our inaugural bottles in 1993, the Sonoma Valley Merlot must be more than just an ordinary vineyard. Savor the aroma of succulent yet sweet cherries that can take you back to grandma’s kitchen as she pulls the cherry pie from the oven. The first sip makes you remember why you love California’s perfect growing climate and rich, volcanic soil as you take in the lush fruit flavors, smooth texture, and lingering spices that would pair wonderfully with a great grilled cut of meat or a hearty round of appetizers. If you would rather not open it at your next dinner party, you can save this bottle for a special occasion—as it will appreciate for 10 more years, you have plenty of time—and you will not be disappointed.
